Extend DWIM to try to infer `--orphan` when in an empty repository. i.e. a repository with an invalid/unborn HEAD, no local branches, and if `--guess-remote` is used then no remote branches. This behavior is equivalent to `git switch -c` or `git checkout -b` in an empty repository. Also warn the user (overriden with `-f`/`--force`) when they likely intend to checkout a remote branch to the worktree but have not yet fetched from the remote. i.e. when using `--guess-remote` and there is a remote but no local or remote refs.
