[PATCH 06/10] Completely move out worktree setup from setup_git_directory_gently()

From
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>

In-Reply-To
<cover.1204453703.git.pclouds@gmail.com>

This was impossible earlier because git_dir can be relative. Now that git_dir is absolute, I see no reason for worktree setup inside setup_git_directory_gently(). The semantic is now clearer: if you need worktree, call setup_work_tree yourself (well, I will clean up setup_git_directory() part later)

This patch will free some commands from prefix handling if they don't ever need worktree.
