Made fugitive and lawrencium coexist in peace,

meaning that branches retrieved from those are now displayed side by
side. The order can be customised with g:airline#extensions#branch#vcs_priority.
The VCS name is now prepended to the branch name to be able to tell
which is which. The VSCCommand behaviour is unchanged.
Also restructured the code a little bit, and made found_fugitive_head
variable behave as its name suggests.
