checkout: update synopsys and documentation on detaching HEAD
In the synopsis, the second form to detach HEAD at the named commit labelled the argument as '<commit>'. While this is technically more correct, because the feature to detach is not limited to the tip of a named branch, it was found confusing and did not express the fact that you have to give `--detach` if you are naming the commit you want to detach HEAD at with a branch name. Separate this case into two syntactical forms, mimicking the way how the DESCRIPTION section shows this usage. Also update the text that explains the syntax to name the commit to detach HEAD at to clarify.
