[PATCH 7/9] alias_lookup(): optionally return top-level directory

[Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>]

When an alias expands to a shell command, and when we are inside a
regular worktree's subdirectory (i.e. not inside the .git/ directory nor
in a worktree initialized via `git worktree add`), and only then, the
current working directory is switched to the top-level directory of the
worktree before running the expanded alias.

While this behavior is somewhat confusing, it is well-established and
needs to be preserved, even with the upcoming change to use the early
config machinery to expand aliases.

That means that alias_lookup() needs to determine the working directory
to switch to, in case the alias turns out to expand to a shall command.
