Merge branch 'tg/worktree-add-existing-branch'

"git worktree add" learned to check out an existing branch.

* tg/worktree-add-existing-branch:
  worktree: teach "add" to check out existing branches
  worktree: factor out dwim_branch function
  worktree: improve message when creating a new worktree
  worktree: remove extra members from struct add_opts
