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.

There are some other  ref manipulation options we can bring over like
--orphan and --track. But you can totally leave them out and we can
add them back when people actually need them.

Yes. I added --force, -b/-B, and --detach because they are used by the
tests; and I considered --orphan and --track to be good candidates, as
well, but decided to omit them for now since the series is already
overly long.
