[PATCH v3 1/4] refs: clean up common_list

Instead of common_list having formatting like ! and /, use a struct to hold common_list data in a structured form.

We don't use 'exclude' yet; instead, we keep the old codepath that handles info/sparse-checkout and logs/HEAD. Later, we will use exclude.

Junio was worried about the performance of common_list and the weird string parsing bits of update_common_dir, so this version of the patch series begins by cleaning and optimizing those bits.

Additionally, I incorporated Junio's suggestion to use is_per_worktree_ref, and his formatting suggestions.

There is now a hack so that git for-each-ref works on per-worktree refs.

I also added git-bisect.sh, which I had overzealously reverted during my proofreading step last time.
