[PATCH 0/4] Create branch_checked_out() helper

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This is a replacement for some patches from v2 of my 'git rebase
--update-refs' topic [1]. After some feedback from Philip, I've decided to
pull that topic while I rework how I track the refs to rewrite [2]. This
series moves forward with the branch_checked_out() helper that was a bit
more complicated than expected at first glance. This series is a culmination
of the discussion started by Junio at [3].

Here is the patch outline:

 1. Add a basic form of branch_checked_out() that only looks at the HEAD of
    each worktree. Since this doesn't look at BISECT_HEAD or REBASE_HEAD,
    the helper isn't linked to any consumer in this patch. A test script is
    added that verifies the current behavior checks that are implemented,
    even if they are not connected yet.
 2. Make branch_checked_out() actually look at BISECT_HEAD and REBASE_HEAD.
    Add tests for those cases, which was previously untested in the Git test
    suite. Use branch_checked_out() in 'git branch -f' to demonstrate this
    helper works as expected.
 3. Use branch_checked_out() in 'git fetch' when checking refs that would be
    updated by the refspec. Add tests for that scenario, too.
 4. Use branch_checked_out() in 'git branch -D' to prevent deleting refs
    from under an existing checkout. The commit message here describes some
    barriers to removing other uses of find_shared_symref() that could be
    good investigations for later.

Thanks, -Stolee
