[PATCH v2 31/32] checkout: don't require a work tree when checking out into a new one

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

From: Dennis Kaarsemaker <dennis@kaarsemaker.net>

For normal use cases, it does not make sense for 'checkout' to work on
a bare repository, without a worktree. But "checkout --to" is an
exception because it _creates_ a new worktree. Allow this option to
run on bare repositories.

People who check out from a bare repository should remember that
core.logallrefupdates is off by default and it should be turned back
on. `--to` cannot do this automatically behind the user's back because
some user may deliberately want no reflog.

For people interested in repository setup/discovery code,
is_bare_repository_cfg (aka "core.bare") is unchanged by this patch,
which means 'true' by default for bare repos. Fortunately when we get
the repo through a linked checkout, is_bare_repository_cfg is never
used. So all is still good.
