fix: allow + in branch names (generated by Claude Code EnterWorktree) (#1248)

Claude Code's EnterWorktree tool converts "/" to "+" when generating
branch names from worktree names (e.g. EnterWorktree("feat/foo") creates
branch "worktree-feat+foo"). The strict whitelist in validateBranchName
rejected these names, causing claude-code-action to fail on any PR opened
from an EnterWorktree-generated branch.

Since all git calls use execFileSync (not shell interpolation), "+" carries
no command injection risk — the same rationale used for allowing "#".
Git itself permits "+" in branch names per git-check-ref-format.
