rev-parse: add option for absolute or relative path formatting

Browse Source 
git rev-parse has several options which print various paths.  Some of
these paths are printed relative to the current working directory, and
some are absolute.

Normally, this is not a problem, but there are times when one wants
paths entirely in one format or another.  This can be done trivially if
the paths are canonical, but canonicalizing paths is not possible on
some shell scripting environments which lack realpath(1) and also in Go,
which lacks functions that properly canonicalize paths on Windows.

To help out the scripter, let's provide an option which turns most of
the paths printed by git rev-parse to be either relative to the current
working directory or absolute and canonical.  Document which options are
affected and which are not so that users are not confused.

This approach is cleaner and tidier than providing duplicates of
existing options which are either relative or absolute.

Note that if the user needs both forms, it is possible to pass an
additional option in the middle of the command line which changes the
behavior of subsequent operations.

Controls the behavior of certain other options. If specified as absolute, the
paths printed by those options will be absolute and canonical. If specified as
relative, the paths will be relative to the current working directory if that
is possible. The default is option specific.

This option may be specified multiple times and affects only the arguments that
follow it on the command line, either to the end of the command line or the next

$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY is set to /foo/bar then "git rev-parse
--git-path objects/abc" returns /foo/bar/abc.

Show the (by default, absolute) path of the top-level directory
of the working tree. If there is no working tree, report an error.
--show-superproject-working-tree::
Show the absolute path of the root of the superproject's
working tree (if exists) that uses the current repository as
its submodule. Outputs nothing if the current repository is
not used as a submodule by any project.

Show the path to the shared index file in split index mode, or
