upload: add a --topic option for setting topic explicitly

Let people specify the exact topic when uploading CLs.  The existing
-t option only supports setting the topic to the current local branch.

Add a --topic-branch long option to the existing -t to align it a bit
better with --hashtag & --hashtag-branch.
