 - Make setup_git_directory() auto-setup worktree if found

 - Completely move out worktree setup from
   setup_git_directory_gently()
 - http-push: Avoid calling setup_git_directory() twice
 - Make setup_work_tree() return new prefix
 - Make get_git_dir() and 'git rev-parse --git-dir' absolute path
 - Make sure setup_git_directory is called before accessing
   repository
 - "git read-tree -m" and the like require worktree

Every time we touch work-tree stuff we seem to unstabilize; this round 
seems more solid but I am still treading cautiously.  Not sure if we 
want this for 1.5.5.

I think this needs a much closer look.  Being as large as the patch series 
is right now does not help at all.  And I am awfully short on time, 
_especially_ since I get sidetracked by things that are more fun, such as 
strbuf_vaddf().

Ciao,
