A 'git pull' without specifying a remote is asked to take the current
branch's upstream as the branch to merge from. This cannot work
without an upstream configuration nor with HEAD detached, but we only
check for this after fetching.
Perform the check beforehand, as we already know whether we have
enough information to merge and can fail immediately otherwise.

I can't quite decide whether the behaviour of 'git pull' with no
upstream configured but a default remote with no fetch refspecs
merging the remote's HEAD is a feature, a bug or something in between,
but it's used by t7409 so maybe someone else is using it and we
shouldn't break it.
There's another check that could be made earlier ('git pull
someremote' when that's not the branch's upstream remote), but then
you have to start figuring out what the flags to fetch are. I'll
revisit this at some point, but I wanted to get this out since it's
working.
