[PATCH] Documentation/git-worktree: use working tree for trees on the file system

If I recall correctly, "worktree" is the feature/command, and "working tree" is an instance in the file system, even when you only have one working tree.

Using that mental model, the documentation for 'git worktree list' clearly talks about working trees, so fix it.

Reflow the lines as well.
