From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

When fetching refs from a remote, it is possible that the refspec will cause use to overwrite a ref that is checked out in a worktree. The existing logic in builtin/fetch.c uses a possibly-slow mechanism. Update those sections to use the new, more efficient branch_checked_out() helper.

These uses were not previously tested, so add a test case that can be used for these kinds of collisions. There is only one test now, but more tests will be added as other consumers of branch_checked_out() are added.

Note that there are two uses in builtin/fetch.c, but only one of the messages is tested. This is because the tested check is run before completing the fetch, and the untested check is not reachable without concurrent updates to the filesystem. Thus, it is beneficial to keep that extra check for the sake of defense-in-depth. However, we should not attempt to test the check, as the effort required is too complicated to be worth the effort.
