setup.c: support multi-checkout repo setup

The repo setup procedure is updated to detect $GIT_DIR/commondir and
set $GIT_COMMON_DIR properly.

The core.worktree is ignored when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is set. This is
because the config file is shared in multi-checkout setup, but
checkout directories _are_ different. Making core.worktree effective
in all checkouts mean it's back to a single checkout.
