ExternalProject: Fix remote checkouts and omissions from git update strategy

Craig Scott requested to merge craig.scott/cmake:fc-ep-git-update-strategy into master

The initial implementation of the git update strategy in !4239 (merged) had a number of problems:

  • When using the CHECKOUT strategy, the local ref was mistakenly checked out instead of the remote one. The test case associated with this was not implemented correctly.
  • The FetchContent module was not passing through the CMAKE_EP_GIT_REMOTE_UPDATE_STRATEGY variable if it was set.
  • No release note was added for the new functionality.
