checkout: document bug where delayed checkout counts entries twice

At the end of a `git checkout <pathspec>` operation, git reports how many paths were checked out with a message like "Updated N paths from the index". However, entries that end up on the delayed checkout queue (as requested by a long-running process filter) get counted twice, producing a wrong number in the final report. We will fix this bug in an upcoming commit. For now, only document/demonstrate it with a test_expect_failure.
