Add support for changing the git branch icon #8

Issue

The current branch icon differed from the one I use in my terminal prompt and to change the branch icon, I would have to directly edit the source code.

Solution and Explanation

Call a variable named "branch_symbol" located at tables.lua#L20 when outputting the branch icon. The aforementioned variable can be modified by the user, therefore, adding support for changing the git branch icon.

This is nice. Thanks for the contribution.

I have thought about putting get_branch() directly into the string before, but it felt a little slow for me. But now its working fine.

I will probably do an autocmd of BufEnter in the near future for updating the branch as it seems more efficient. Thanks again.😅
