Bug Description

A lot of users still attempt to use "bzr pull" in a checkout and then
run confusing ReadOnlyError's when "bzr pull" tries to update their
master branch (which they don't have write access to).

We should catch the ReadOnlyError in pull if the branch is a checkout
and suggest the user use either "bzr up" or "bzr pull --local".
