add worktree.guessRemote config option
Some users might want to have the --guess-remote option introduced in the previous commit on by default, so they don't have to type it out every time they create a new worktree. Add a config option worktree.guessRemote that allows users to configure the default behaviour for themselves.

+worktree.guessRemote::
+ With `add`, if no branch argument, and neither of `-b` nor
+ `-B` nor `--detach` are given, the command defaults to
+ creating a new branch from HEAD. If `worktree.guessRemote` is
+ set to true, `worktree add` tries to find a remote-tracking
+ branch whose name uniquely matches the new branch name. If
+ such a branch exists, it is checked out and set as "upstream"
+ for the new branch. If no such match can be found, it falls
+ back to creating a new branch from the current HEAD.
