checkout: fix message when leaving detached HEAD
The shell version of git checkout would print: Previous HEAD position was 1234abcd... commit subject line when leaving a detached HEAD for another commit. Ths C version attempted to implement this, but got the condition wrong such that the behavior never triggered. This patch simplifies the conditions for showing the message to the ones used by the shell version: any time we are leaving a detached HEAD and the new and old commits are not the same (this suppresses it for the "git checkout -b new" case recommended when you enter the detached state).
