Take advantage of 'struct child_process.env' to make it obvious that
environment variables set by add_worktree() are intended specifically
for sub-commands it invokes to operate in the new worktree.
We assign a local 'struct argv_array' to child_process.env, rather than
utilizing the child_process.env_array 'struct argv_array', because
future patches will make add_worktree() invoke additional sub-commands,
and it's simpler to populate the environment array just once, whereas
child_process.env_array gets cleared after each invocation, thus would
require re-population for each sub-command.

git-worktree currently conflates branch creation, setting of HEAD in the
new worktree, and worktree population into a single sub-invocation of
git-checkout, which requires git-checkout to be specially aware that it
is operating in a newly-created worktree. The goal is to free
git-checkout of that special knowledge, and to do so, git-worktree will
eventually perform those operations separately. Thus, as a first step,
rather than piggybacking on git-checkout's -b/-B ability to create a new
branch at checkout time, make git-worktree responsible for branch
creation itself.

Fix oversight where branch auto-vivication incorrectly kicks in when
--detach is specified and <branch> omitted. Instead, treat:
git worktree add --detach <path>
as shorthand for:
git worktree add --detach <path> HEAD

add_worktree() will eventually need to deal with some options itself, so
introduce a structure into which options can be conveniently bundled,

Make 'new_branch' be the name of the new branch for both forced and
non-forced cases; and add boolean 'force_new_branch' to indicate forced
branch creation. This will simplify logic later on when git-worktree
handles branch creation locally rather than delegating it to
git-checkout as part of the worktree population phase.

When git-worktree creates a new worktree, it reports:
Enter "<path>" (identifier <tag>)
which misleadingly implies that it is setting <path> as the working
directory (as if "cd <path>" had been invoked), whereas it's actually
preparing the new worktree by creating its administrative files, setting
HEAD, and populating it. Make this more clear by instead saying:
Preparing "<path>" (identifier <tag>)

Update to the "linked checkout" in 2.5.0-rc1.
Instead of "checkout --to" that does not do what "checkout"
normally does, move the functionality to "git worktree add".

This reverts commit 0d1a151783.
When trying to switch to a different branch, that happens to be
checked out in another working tree, the user shouldn't have to
give up the other safety measures (like protecting the local changes
that overlap the difference between the branches) while defeating
the "no two checkouts of the same branch" safety.

As a safeguard, checking out a branch already checked out by a different
worktree is disallowed. This behavior can be overridden with
--ignore-other-worktrees, however, this option is neither obvious nor
particularly discoverable. As a common safeguard override, --force is
more likely to come to mind. Therefore, overload it to also suppress the
check for a branch already checked out elsewhere.

As a convenience, when <branch> is omitted from "git worktree <path>
<branch>" and neither -b nor -B is used, automatically create a new
branch named after <path>, as if "-b $(basename <path>)" was specified.
Thus, "git worktree add ../hotfix" creates a new branch named "hotfix"
and associates it with new worktree "../hotfix".

Now that "git worktree add" has achieved user-facing feature-parity with
"git checkout --to", retire the latter.
Move the actual linked worktree creation functionality,
prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers, verbatim from checkout.c to
worktree.c.
This effectively reverts changes to checkout.c by 529fef2 (checkout:
support checking out into a new working directory, 2014-11-30) with the
exception of merge_working_tree() and switch_branches() which still
require specialized knowledge that a the checkout is occurring in a
newly-created linked worktree (signaled to them by the private
GIT_CHECKOUT_NEW_WORKTREE environment variable).

One of git-worktree's roles is to populate the new worktree, much like
git-checkout, and thus, for convenience, ought to support several of the
same shortcuts. Toward this goal, add -b/-B options to create a new
branch and check it out in the new worktree.
(For brevity, only -b is mentioned in the synopsis; -B is omitted.)

The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git
worktree add". As a first step, introduce a bare-bones git-worktree
"add" command along with documentation. At this stage, "git worktree
add" merely invokes "git checkout --to" behind the scenes, but an
upcoming patch will move the actual functionality
(checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers) to worktree.c.
