[PATCH] worktree: teach `add` to accept --reason <string> with --lock

<pull.992.git.1625550451038.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Stephen Manz <smanz@alum.mit.edu>

The default reason stored in the lock file, "added with --lock", is unlikely to be what the user would have given in a separate `git worktree lock` command. Allowing `--reason` to be specified along with `--lock` when adding a working tree gives the user control over the reason for locking without needing a second command.

    worktree: teach add to accept --reason with --lock
    
    The default reason stored in the lock file, "added with --lock", is
    unlikely to be what the user would have given in a separate git worktree
    lock command. Allowing --reason to be specified along with --lock when
    adding a working tree gives the user control over the reason for locking
    without needing a second command.
