devtool: standard: throws appropriate error if source is in detached HEAD

If source is in detached HEAD, we get the following error when using
detvool finish command:

    [...]
    File "<...>/poky/scripts/lib/devtool/standard.py", line 1938, in _update_recipe
      bb.process.run('git checkout %s' % startbranch, cwd=srctree)
    File "<...>/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/process.py", line 189, in run
      raise ExecutionError(cmd, pipe.returncode, stdout, stderr)
  bb.process.ExecutionError: Execution of 'git checkout (HEAD detached at 9bbf87e)' failed with exit code 2:
  /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
  /bin/sh: -c: line 1: `git checkout (HEAD detached at 9bbf87e)'

Check this and throws an appropriate error in this case
