wt-status: avoid passing NULL worktree

In preparation for removing the repository argument from worktree_git_path() add a function to construct a "struct worktree" from a "struct repository" using its "gitdir" and "worktree" members. This function is then used to avoid passing a NULL worktree to wt_status_check_bisect() and wt_status_check_rebase(). In general the "struct worktree" returned may not correspond to the "current" worktree defined by is_current_worktree() as that function uses "the_repository" rather than "wt->repo" when deciding which worktree is "current". In practice the "struct repository" we pass corresponds to "the_repository" as we only ever operate on a single repository at the moment. wt_status_check_bisect() and wt_status_check_rebase() have the following callers: - branch.c:prepare_checked_out_branches() which loops over all worktrees. - worktree.c:is_worktree_being_rebased() which is called from builtin/branch.c:reject_rebase_or_bisect_branch() that loops over all worktrees and worktree.c:is_shared_symref() which dereferences wt earlier in the function. - wt-status:wt_status_get_state() which is updated to avoid passing a NULL worktree by this patch. This updates the only callers that pass a NULL worktree to worktree_git_path(). A new test is added to check that "git status" detects a rebase in a linked worktree.
