prune: strategies for linked checkouts

(alias R=$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<id>)

 - linked checkouts are supposed to keep its location in $R/gitdir up
   to date. The use case is auto fixup after a manual checkout move.

 - linked checkouts are supposed to update mtime of $R/gitdir. If
   $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a limit, and it points to nowhere,
   worktrees/<id> is to be pruned.

 - If $R/locked exists, worktrees/<id> is not supposed to be pruned. If
   $R/locked exists and $R/gitdir's mtime is older than a really long
   limit, warn about old unused repo.

 - "git checkout --to" is supposed to make a hard link named $R/link
   pointing to the .git file on supported file systems to help detect
   the user manually deleting the checkout. If $R/link exists and its
   link count is greated than 1, the repo is kept.
