checkout: fix bug with --to and relative HEAD
Given "git checkout --to <path> HEAD~1", the new worktree's HEAD should begin life at the current branch's HEAD~1, however, it actually ends up at HEAD~2. This happens because: 1. git-checkout resolves HEAD~1 2. to satisfy is_git_directory(), prepare_linked_worktree() creates a HEAD for the new worktree with the value of the resolved HEAD~1 3. git-checkout re-invokes itself with the same arguments within the new worktree to populate the worktree 4. the sub git-checkout resolves HEAD~1 relative to its own HEAD, which is the resolved HEAD~1 from the original invocation, resulting unexpectedly and incorrectly in HEAD~2 (relative to the original) Fix this by unconditionally assigning the current worktree's HEAD as the value of the new worktree's HEAD. As a side-effect, this change also eliminates a dependence within prepare_linked_checkout() upon 'struct branch_info'. The plan is to eventually relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git worktree add", and worktree.c won't have knowledge of 'struct branch_info', so removal of this dependency is a step toward that goal.
