checkout: retire --ignore-other-worktrees in favor of --force

As a safeguard, checking out a branch already checked out by a different
worktree is disallowed. This behavior can be overridden with
--ignore-other-worktrees, however, this option is neither obvious nor
particularly discoverable. As a common safeguard override, --force is
more likely to come to mind. Therefore, overload it to also suppress the
check for a branch already checked out elsewhere.

`git checkout` refuses when the wanted ref is already checked
out by another worktree. This option makes it check the ref
out anyway. In other words, the ref can be held by more than one
worktree.
