Currently there is no indication in the "git worktree add" output that
a new branch was created. This would be especially useful information
in the case where the dwim of "git worktree add <path>" kicks in, as the
user didn't explicitly ask for a new branch, but we create one from
them.
Print some additional output showing that a branch was created and the
branch name to help the user.
This will also be useful in the next commit, which introduces a new kind
of dwim-ery of checking out the branch if it exists instead of refusing
to create a new worktree in that case, and where it's nice to tell the
user which kind of dwim-ery kicked in.
