gitk: Disable checkout of remote branches
At the command line, trying to check out a remote branch gives you a
detailed warning message, but the gitk GUI currently allows it without
any fuss.
Since the GUI is often used by people much less familiar with git, it
seems reasonable to make the GUI more restrictive than the command line,
not less.
This prevents a lot of detached HEAD commits by new users.
