checkout: improve error messages for -b with extra argument

When we try to create a branch "foo" based on "origin/master" and give
git commit -b an extra unsupported argument "bar", it confusingly
reports:

   $ git checkout -b foo origin/master bar
   fatal: 'bar' is not a commit and a branch 'foo' cannot be created from it

   $ git checkout --track -b foo origin/master bar
   fatal: 'bar' is not a commit and a branch 'foo' cannot be created from it

That's wrong, because it very well understands that "origin/master" is
supposed to be the start point for the new branch and not "bar".  Check
if we got a commit and show more fitting messages in that case instead:

   $ git checkout -b foo origin/master bar
   fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'foo' at the same time.

   $ git checkout --track -b foo origin/master bar
   fatal: '--track' cannot be used with updating paths
