feat(checkout): Fixing bug with private forks

Gary Holtz requested to merge 6400-glab-mr-checkout-number-results-in-404-error-if-you-don-t-have-access-to-the-source-repository into main

Description

This code diff updates the mr checkout command to fetch the merge request's source branch from either the source or target project, depending on the user's permissions. If the user doesn't have access to the source project, it fetches from the target project and uses a different reference format. This ensures that users can always check out a merge request's source branch, even if they don't have access to the source project.
