b9317d55a3 Make sure refs/rewritten/ is per-worktree
a9be29c981 (sequencer: make refs generated by the `label` command
worktree-local, 2018-04-25) adds refs/rewritten/ as per-worktree
reference space. Unfortunately (my bad) there are a couple places that
need update to make sure it's really per-worktree.

 - add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is updated to make sure ref listing
   look at per-worktree refs/rewritten/ instead of per-repo one [1]

 - common_list[] is updated so that git_path() returns the correct
   location. This includes "rev-parse --git-path".

This mess is created by me. I started trying to fix it with the
introduction of refs/worktree, where all refs will be per-worktree
without special treatments. Unfortunate refs/rewritten came before
refs/worktree so this is all we can do.

This also fixes logs/refs/worktree not being per-worktree.

[1] note that ref listing still works sometimes. For example, if you
    have .git/worktrees/foo/refs/rewritten/bar AND the directory
    .git/worktrees/refs/rewritten, refs/rewritten/bar will show up.
    add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is only needed when the directory
    .git/worktrees/refs/rewritten is missing.

3a3b9d8cde refs: new ref types to make per-worktree refs visible to all worktrees
One of the problems with multiple worktree is accessing per-worktree
refs of one worktree from another worktree. This was sort of solved by
multiple ref store, where the code can open the ref store of another
worktree and has access to the ref space of that worktree.

The problem with this is reporting. "HEAD" in another ref space is
also called "HEAD" like in the current ref space. In order to
differentiate them, all the code must somehow carry the ref store
around and print something like "HEAD from this ref store".

But that is not feasible (or possible with a _lot_ of work). With the
current design, we pass a reference around as a string (so called
"refname"). Extending this design to pass a string _and_ a ref store
is a nightmare, especially when handling extended SHA-1 syntax.

So we do it another way. Instead of entering a separate ref space, we
make refs from other worktrees available in the current ref space. So
"HEAD" is always HEAD of the current worktree, but then we can have
"worktrees/blah/HEAD" to denote HEAD from a worktree named
"blah". This syntax coincidentally matches the underlying directory
structure which makes implementation a bit easier.

The main worktree has to be treated specially because well... it's
special from the beginning. So HEAD from the main worktree is
acccessible via the name "main-worktree/HEAD" instead of
"worktrees/main/HEAD" because "main" could be just another secondary
worktree.

This patch also makes it possible to specify refs from one worktree in
another one, e.g.

    git log worktrees/foo/HEAD

8aff1a9ca5 Add a place for (not) sharing stuff between worktrees
When multiple worktrees are used, we need rules to determine if
something belongs to one worktree or all of them. Instead of keeping
adding rules when new stuff comes (*), have a generic rule:

- Inside $GIT_DIR, which is per-worktree by default, add
  $GIT_DIR/common which is always shared. New features that want to
  share stuff should put stuff under this directory.

- Inside refs/, which is shared by default except refs/bisect, add
  refs/worktree/ which is per-worktree. We may eventually move
  refs/bisect to this new location and remove the exception in refs
  code.

(*) And it may also include stuff from external commands which will
    have no way to modify common/per-worktree rules.
