[PATCH v5 2/3] advice: add stashBeforeCheckout advice for dirty branch switches [GSOC]

["Arsh Srivastava via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Arsh Srivastava <arshsrivastava00@gmail.com>

Add a new advice type ADVICE_STASH_BEFORE_CHECKOUT to guide users
when they attempt to switch branches with local modifications that
would be overwritten by the operation.

The advice suggests using "git checkout -m" to carry local changes
over to the new branch in a single step.

The advice can be silenced with:

  git config set advice.stashBeforeCheckout false

Changes:
- advice.h: add ADVICE_STASH_BEFORE_CHECKOUT enum value
- advice.c: add "stashBeforeCheckout" to advice_setting[] and implement
  advise_on_checkout_dirty_files() function
- Documentation/config/advice.adoc: document the new advice key
