fetch doc: remove notes on outdated "mixed layout"
In old days before Git 1.5, it was customery for "git fetch" to use the same local branch namespace to keep track of the remote-tracking branches, and it was necessary to tell users not to check them out and commit on them. Since everybody uses the separate remote layout these days, there is no need to warn against the practice to check out the right-hand side of <refspec> and build on it---the RHS is typically not even a local branch. Incidentally, this also kills one mention of "Pull:" line of $GIT_DIR/remotes/* configuration, which is a lot less familiar to new people than the more modern remote.*.fetch configuration variable.
