Add a new function set_worktree_head_symref, to update HEAD symref for
the specified worktree.
To update HEAD of a linked working tree,
create_symref("worktrees/$work_tree/HEAD", "refs/heads/$branch", msg)
could be used. However when it comes to updating HEAD of the main
working tree, it is unusable because it uses $GIT_DIR for
worktree-specific symrefs (HEAD).
The new function takes git_dir (real directory) as an argument, and
updates HEAD of the working tree. This function will be used when
renaming a branch.
