Avoid unnecessary detached HEAD state in boot.sh and check out stable branch in migrate.sh - #240

The checkout would be a no-op if already on `stable` (git would print `Already on 'stable'` but importantly would *not* return a failing exit code). It would fail if the user has local changes, but if they have local changes `git pull` would also fail, so there's no change there.
This is a follow-up to 1767107 - instead of checking out `FETCH_HEAD`, which always puts the user in 'detached HEAD' state, we will check out `${OMAKUB_REF:-stable}` so that we only end up in 'detached HEAD' state when necessary (i.e. when checking out a SHA rather than a branch).

One thing I'm not sure about is whether omakub upgrade is supposed to be usable if you've originally installed master rather than stable. If so, this line might be undesirable.
Maybe it's better to drop this line, and just rely on the fixed boot.sh...

Actually ,yes, on second thought I think you're right.

Thanks! Apologies for not spotting the impact to the upgrade flow in the original PR. Probably warrants a mention in the release notes to instruct users to run cd $OMAKUB_PATH && git checkout stable if they encounter "You are not currently on a branch" errors when trying to upgrade.
