Alexandr Miloslavskiy fa74180d08 checkout: don't revert file on ambiguous tracking branches
For easier understanding, here are the existing good scenarios:

  1) Have *no* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and a *single*
     remote branch 'foo'
  2) `git checkout foo` will create local branch foo, see [1]

  and

  1) Have *a* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and a *single*
     remote branch 'foo'
  2) `git checkout foo` will complain, see [3]

This patch prevents the following scenario:

  1) Have *a* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and *multiple*
     remote branches 'foo'
  2) `git checkout foo` will successfully... revert contents of
     file `foo`!

That is, adding another remote suddenly changes behavior significantly,
which is a surprise at best and could go unnoticed by user at worst.
Please see [3] which gives some real world complaints.

To my understanding, fix in [3] overlooked the case of multiple remotes,
and the whole behavior of falling back to reverting file was never
intended:

  [1] introduces the unexpected behavior. Before, there was fallback
  from not-a-ref to pathspec. This is reasonable fallback. After, there
  is another fallback from ambiguous-remote to pathspec. I understand
  that it was a copy&paste oversight.

  [2] noticed the unexpected behavior but chose to semi-document it
  instead of forbidding, because the goal of the patch series was
  focused on something else.

  [3] adds `die()` when there is ambiguity between branch and file. The
  case of multiple tracking branches is seemingly overlooked.

The new behavior: if there is no local branch and multiple remote
candidates, just die() and don't try reverting file whether it
exists (prevents surprise) or not (improves error message).
