refs: add a new function set_worktree_head_symref
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.
