update: always reset to origin/master.

Do a reset to `origin/master` and then stash but don't pop the stash
after running update (unless you were on a branch). This may be mildly
more annoying for Homebrew developers but means it's easier for our
users who don't understand Git (and particularly when they don't
understand that every tap is a separate Git repository).

Closes Homebrew/homebrew#45825.
