worktree: teach `add` to recognize -d as shorthand for --detach

Like `git switch` and `git checkout`, `git worktree add` can check out a
branch or set up a detached HEAD. However, unlike those other commands,
`git worktree add` does not understand -d as shorthand for --detach,
which may confound users accustomed to using -d for this purpose.
Address this shortcoming by teaching `add` to recognize -d for --detach,
thus bringing it in line with the other commands.
