Documentation: add extensions.worktreeConfig details
The extensions.worktreeConfig extension was added in 58b284a (worktree: add per-worktree config files, 2018-10-21) and was somewhat documented in Documentation/git-config.txt. However, the extensions.worktreeConfig value was not specified further in the list of possible config keys. The location of the config.worktree file is not specified, and there are some precautions that should be mentioned clearly, but are only mentioned in git-worktree.txt. Expand the documentation to help users discover the complexities of extensions.worktreeConfig by adding details and cross links in these locations (relative to Documentation/): - config/extensions.txt - git-config.txt - git-worktree.txt The updates focus on items such as * $GIT_DIR/config.worktree takes precedence over $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config. * The core.worktree and core.bare=true settings are incorrect to have in the common config file when extensions.worktreeConfig is enabled. * The sparse-checkout settings core.sparseCheckout[Cone] are recommended to be set in the worktree config. As documented in 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15), this extension must be considered regardless of the repository format version for historical reasons. A future change will update references to extensions.worktreeConfig within git-sparse-checkout.txt, but a behavior change is needed before making those updates.
