doc: promote "git restore"
The new command "git restore" (together with "git switch") are added
to avoid the confusion of one-command-do-all "git checkout" for new
users. They are also helpful to avoid ambiguous context.
For these reasons, promote it everywhere possible. This includes
documentation, suggestions/advice from other commands.
One nice thing about git-restore is the ability to restore
"everything", so it can be used in "git status" advice instead of both
"git checkout" and "git reset". The three commands suggested by "git
status" are add, rm and restore.
"git checkout" is also removed from "git help" (i.e. it's no longer
considered a commonly used command)
