[PATCHv5 5/8] clone: factor out checking for an alternate path

From

<20160815215327.15682-1-sbeller@google.com>

In a later patch we want to determine if a path is suitable as an alternate from other commands than builtin/clone. Move the checking functionality of `add_one_reference` to `compute_alternate_path` that is defined in cache.h.
