worktree: prune duplicate entries referencing same worktree path
A fundamental restriction of linked working trees is that there must
only ever be a single worktree associated with a particular path, thus
"git worktree add" explicitly disallows creation of a new worktree at
the same location as an existing registered worktree. Nevertheless,
users can still "shoot themselves in the foot" by mucking with
administrative files in .git/worktree/<id>/. Worse, "git worktree move"
is careless[1] and allows a worktree to be moved atop a registered but
missing worktree (which can happen, for instance, if the worktree is on
removable media). For instance:
$ git clone foo.git
$ cd foo
$ git worktree add ../bar
$ git worktree add ../baz
$ rm -rf ../bar
$ git worktree move ../baz ../bar
$ git worktree list
.../foo beefd00f [master]
.../bar beefd00f [bar]
.../bar beefd00f [baz]
Help users recover from this form of corruption by teaching "git
worktree prune" to detect when multiple worktrees are associated with
the same path.
[1]: A subsequent commit will fix "git worktree move" validation to be
more strict.
