fix(scripts): improve git branch creation error handling (#2089)

Browse Source 
* fix(scripts): improve git branch creation error handling

- Capture git checkout -b stderr for meaningful error reporting
- Skip redundant checkout when already on target branch
- Surface actual git error messages instead of generic fallback

Applies to both bash and PowerShell create-new-feature scripts.

- Capture git checkout -b stderr for meaningful error reporting

Applies to both bash and PowerShell create-new-feature scripts.

* fix(scripts): use quiet mode for git checkout -b when capturing errors

Ensures branch_create_error is empty on success, matching variable semantics.
