BACKPORT NOTICE
There's some difference with original PR but that's not important because we do not actually use travis.
The variable TRAVIS_BRANCH would be removed anyway in bitcoin#20697 - let's just skip it for simplicity

Pull request description:
This is causing problems again, very similar to #19654.
UPDATE: This now removes all remaining usages of TRAVIS_COMMIT_RANGE and instead uses TRAVIS_BRANCH for the range, including `lint-git-commit-check` where TRAVIS_COMMIT_RANGE had already been removed. For builds triggered by a pull request, TRAVIS_BRANCH is the name of the branch targeted by the pull request. In the linters there is still a fallback that assumes master as the target branch.

72351784b3df21a89f79076f4b814a6e700b6469 lint: Remove travis env var from commit linter (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
#19439 was recently merged and seemed to work fine but I now noticed strange behavior when it was running in Travis, which I could not reproduce locally. It turns out `TRAVIS_COMMIT_RANGE` which is used in Travis to get the commits for the linter, uses all the commits that were in a push, which includes all rebase commits for example. This means that the linter can fail on a commit that the developer has never even seen before, which can be very confusing. See an example here which caused me to look into this: https://travis-ci.org/github/bitcoin/bitcoin/jobs/714296381 The commit that is reported as failing in my PR is not part of my PR.
I think we rather want to use something like `git merge-base` to get the commit range by default and in Travis. I am leaving the env variable functionality in place with a different name but this is not a variable that can be expected to be present in the CI environments so the `merge-base` range should be used there by default.
