[tool] More main-branch detection improvement (#7067)

Follow-up to #7038 to try to make
it work on LUCI. Looking at the checkout steps of a LUCI run, it looks
like we do a full `fetch` of `origin`, but likely only have a `master`
branch locally. Rather than rely on a specific local branch name
existing, this allows for checking `origin` (and just in case, since
it's another common remote name, `upstream`).

Hopefully fixes flutter/flutter#119330
