git-gui: remove HEAD detachment implementation for git < 1.5.3

git-gui provides an implementation to detach HEAD on Git versions prior
to 1.5.3.  Nobody should be using such an old version anymore.
(Moreover, since 0730a5a3a, git-gui requires git v2.36 or later).
Keep only the code for modern Git.
