worktree: retire special-case normalization of main worktree path

In order for "git-worktree list" to present consistent results,
get_main_worktree() performs manual normalization on the repository
path (returned by get_common_dir()) after passing it through
strbuf_add_absolute_path(). In particular, it cleans up the path for
three distinct cases when the current working directory is (1) the main
worktree, (2) the .git/ subdirectory, or (3) a bare repository.

The need for such special-cases is a direct consequence of employing
strbuf_add_absolute_path() which, for the sake of efficiency, doesn't
bother normalizing the path (such as folding out redundant path
components) after making it absolute. Lack of normalization is not
typically a problem since redundant path elements make no difference
when working with paths at the filesystem level. However, when preparing
paths for presentation, possible redundant path components make it
difficult to ensure consistency.

Eliminate the need for these special cases by instead making the path
absolute via strbuf_add_real_path() which normalizes the path for us.
Once normalized, the only case we need to handle manually is converting
it to the path of the main worktree by stripping the "/.git" suffix.
This stripping of the "/.git" suffix is a regular idiom in
worktree-related code; for instance, it is employed by
get_linked_worktree(), as well.
