Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I usually use restore and switch instead of checkout. However, lazygit does not support these.

Describe the solution you'd like I want you to support restore and switch!

Thanks

Research direction
Examine how existing git commands like checkout are implemented in lazygit's codebase, then implement restore and switch commands following the same pattern and ensure they integrate with the existing UI.
