Currently git worktree add creates a new branch, that matches the HEAD
of whichever worktree we were on when calling "git worktree add".

Add a --guess flag to git worktree add, that makes it behave like the
dwim machinery in 'git checkout <new-branch>', i.e. check if the new
branch name uniquely matches the branch name of a remote tracking
branch, and if so check out that branch, and set the upstream to the
remote tracking branch.

I'm a bit torn about hiding his behind an additional flag in git
worktree add or not.  I would like to have the feature without the
additional flag, but it might break some peoples expectations, so
dunno.
