[PATCH v2 09/23] checkout: relocate --to's "no branch specified" check

From

The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git worktree add", however, this check expects a 'struct branch_info' which git-worktree won't have at hand. It will, however, have access to its own command-line from which it can pick up the branch name. Therefore, as a preparatory step, rather than having prepare_linked_checkout() perform this check, make it the caller's responsibility.
