Update remote naming when using gh repo fork to use origin & upstream #582

@waldyrious

Description

@waldyrious

When forking a repo with gh repo fork, the remote is named "fork".

Instead I'd prefer this to use the upstream's namespace (username under which the fork lives), which, for a fork created by me, would be "waldyrious".

That would make the list of remotes more self-descriptive, and would allow cloning multiple forks of the same repo without naming conflicts or using e.g. counters like "fork-1", etc.

Note: the proposed solution is what hub does.
