[PATCH v2 2/7] branch: add branch_checked_out() helper

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@xxxxxxxxxx>

The validate_new_branchname() method contains a check to see if a branch
is checked out in any non-bare worktree. This is intended to prevent a
force push that will mess up an existing checkout. This helper is not
suitable to performing just that check, because the method will die()
when the branch is checked out instead of returning an error code.

Extract branch_checked_out() and use it within
validate_new_branchname(). Another caller will be added in a coming
change.
