As Ævar pointed out in [1], the use of PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP with a list of allowed parameters is not recommended. Both git-branch and git-checkout were changed in d311566 (branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking, 2021-12-20) to use this discouraged combination for their --track flags. Fix this by removing PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP, and changing the arghelp to simply be "mode". Users may discover allowed values in the manual pages.
