[PATCH 05/11] completion: remove completion for git switch --orphan

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

git switch with the --orphan option is used to create a new branch that is not connected to any history and is instead based on the empty tree.

It does not make sense for completion to return anything in this case, because there is nothing to complete. Check for --orphan, and if it's found, immediately return from _git_switch() without completing anything.

Add a test case which documents this expected behavior.
