add experimental git worktree support

This provides initial support for using git worktrees internally
instead of our own ad-hoc symlink tree.  It's been lightly tested
which is why it's not currently exposed via --help.

When people opt-in to worktrees in an existing repo client checkout,
no projects are migrated.  Instead, only new projects will use the
worktree method.  This allows for limited testing/opting in without
having to completely blow things away or get a second checkout.
