This series introduces the `--[no-]relative-paths` CLI option for
`git worktree {add, move, repair}` commands, as well as the
`worktree.useRelativePaths` configuration setting. When enabled,
these options allow worktrees to be linked using relative paths,
enhancing portability across environments where absolute paths
may differ (e.g., containerized setups, shared network drives).
Git still creates absolute paths by default, but these options allow
users to opt-in to relative paths if desired.

Using the `--relative-paths` option with `worktree {move, repair}`
will convert absolute paths to relative ones, while `--no-relative-paths`
does the reverse. For cases where users want consistency in path handling,
the config option `worktree.useRelativePaths` provides a persistent setting.

A new extension, `relativeWorktrees`, is added to indicate that at least
one worktree in the repository has been linked with relative paths. This
extension is automatically set when a worktree is created or repaired
using the `--relative-paths` option, or when the
`worktree.useRelativePaths` config is set to `true`.

The `relativeWorktrees` extension ensures older Git versions do not
attempt to automatically prune worktrees with relative paths, as they
would not not recognize the paths as being valid.

Changes in v4:
- Fixed failing test in ci
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241031-wt_relative_options-v3-0-3e44ccdf64e6@pm.me
Changes in v3:
- Split patches into smaller edits.
- Moved tests into the patches with the relevant code changes.
- Removed global `use_relative_paths` and instead pass parameter to functions.
- Changed `infer_backlink` return type from `int` to `ssize_t`.

Changes in v2:
- Fixed a bug where repositories with valid extensions would be downgraded
  to v0 during reinitialization, causing future operations to fail.
- Split patch [1/2] into three separate patches.
- Updated cover letter and commit messages.
- Updated documentation wording.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241025-wt_relative_options-v1-0-c3005df76bf9@pm.me
