[PATCH v2 2/3] init: do not set core.worktree more often than necessary

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

When "git init" is called with GIT_WORK_TREE environment set, we want to
keep this worktree's location in core.worktree so the user does not have
to set the environment again and again. See ef6f0af (git-init: set
core.worktree if GIT_WORK_TREE is specified - 2007-07-04)

We detect that by this logic (in needs_work_tree_config): normally
worktree's top dir would contains ".git" directory, if this is not true,
worktree is probably set to elsewhere by the user.

Unfortunately when it calls get_git_dir() it does not take ".git" files
into account. When we find a .git file, we immediately follow the file
until we find the real ".git" directory. The location of this first
".git" file is lost.

The .git file would satisfy the logic above and not create
core.worktree (correct). But because the final .git's location is used,
needs_work_tree_config() is misled and creates core.worktree anyway.

This would not be a huge deal normally. But if this happens in a
multiple worktree setup it becomes a real problem because up until now,
core.worktree will be applied to the main worktree only. If you
accidentally do "git init" from a linked worktree, you set
core.worktree (for the main repo) pointing to the _linked_ worktree.
After that point, may you live in interesting times.

Record the .git file location and use it here.

PS. real_path() resolves symlinks So original_git_dir is not truly
original if '.git' is a symlink. Hopefully it's not longer used in favor
of .git files.
