config: add repo_config_set_worktree_gently()

Some config settings, such as those for sparse-checkout, are likely
intended to only apply to one worktree at a time. To make this write
easier, add a new config API method, repo_config_set_worktree_gently().

This method will attempt to write to the worktree-specific config, but
will instead write to the common config file if worktree config is not
enabled.  The next change will introduce a consumer of this method.
