git-gui: handle non-standard worktree locations

Don't rely on the git worktree being the updir of the gitdir, since it
might not be. Instead, define (and use) a new _gitworktree global
variable, setting it to $GIT_WORK_TREE if present, falling back to
core.worktree if defined, and finally to whatever we guess the correct
worktree is. Getting core.worktree requires the config from the alleged
git dir _gitdir to be loaded early.

Supporting non-standard worktree locations also breaks the git-gui
assumption (made when calling gitk) that the worktree was the dirname of
$_gitdir and that, by consequence, the git dir could be set to the tail
of $_gitdir once we changed to the worktree root directory. Therefore,
we need to export a GIT_DIR environment variable set to the full,
normalized path of $_gitdir instead. We also skip changing to the worktree
directory if it's empty (i.e. if we're working on a bare repository).
