This will be used in later commits, where it becomes cumbersome to always pass in a buffer.
Separate the logic of finding the worktree directory of a repository and actually opening the working tree's directory. This is a preparatory step for opening the worktree structure of a repository itself.
While we already provide functionality to look up a worktree from a repository, we cannot do so the other way round. That is given a repository, we want to look up its worktree if it actually exists. Getting the worktree of a repository is useful when we want to get certain meta information like the parent's location, getting the locked status, etc.
The working tree's parent path should not point to the parent's gitdir, but to the parent's working directory. Pointing to the gitdir would not make any sense, as the parent's working directory is actually equal to both repository's common directory. Fix the issue.
When creating a new worktree, we have to set up the initial data structures. Next to others, this also includes the HEAD pseudo-ref. We currently set it to the worktree respectively branch name, which is actually not fully qualified. Use the fully qualified branch name instead.
The three link files "worktree/.git", ".git/worktrees/<name>/commondir" and ".git/worktrees/<name>/gitdir" should always contain absolute and resolved paths. Adjust the logic creating new worktrees to first use `git_path_prettify_dir` before writing out these files, so that paths are resolved first.
References for a repository are usually created inside of its gitdir. When using worktrees, though, these references are not to be created inside the worktree gitdir, but instead inside the gitdir of its parent repository, which is the commondir. Like this, branches will still be available after the worktree itself has been deleted. The filesystem refdb currently still creates new references inside of the gitdir. Fix this and have it create references in commondir.
It is possible to specify submodule URLs relative to the repository location. E.g. having a submodule with URL "../submodule" will look for the submodule at "repo/../submodule". With the introduction of worktrees, though, we cannot simply resolve the URL relative to the repository location itself. If the repository for which a URL is to be resolved is a working tree, we have to resolve the URL relative to the parent's repository path. Otherwise, the URL would change depending on where the working tree is located. Fix this by special-casing when we have a working tree while getting the URL base.

So this is the first batch of fixes for the worktree implementation. Fixes:
git_worktreepath now correctly points to the parent repository, that is it will usually point to the parent working directorygit_worktree_open_from_repositoryhas been added to retrieve the worktree structure from a repository, if it actually is a working tree
