[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix bugs in rev-parse's output when run in a subdirectory

The bug that bit me (hard!) and that triggered not only a long series of curses but also my writing a patch and sending it to the list was that `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` would give *incorrect* output when run in a subdirectory of a regular checkout, but *correct* output when run in a subdirectory of an associated *worktree*.

I had tested the script in question quite a bit, but in a worktree. And in production, it quietly did exactly the wrong thing.

Relative to v1 of the then-single patch, this changed:
- the patch now covers also --git-common-dir and --shared-index-path
- the output is now a relative path when git_dir is relative
- I plucked the tests from Mike's patch series and dropped my ad-hoc
  test from t0060.
- While at it, I fixed Mike's test that assumed that the objects/
  directory lives in .git/worktrees/<name>/objects/.
