[PATCHv7 1/6] submodule: use absolute path for computing relative path connecting

The current caller of connect_work_tree_and_git_dir passes an absolute path for the `git_dir` parameter. In the future patch we will also pass in relative path for `git_dir`. Extend the functionality of connect_work_tree_and_git_dir to take relative paths for parameters.

We could work around this in the future patch by computing the absolute path for the git_dir in the calling site, however accepting relative paths for either parameter makes the API for this function much harder to misuse.
