worktree: prune linked worktree referencing main worktree path

"git worktree prune" detects when multiple entries are associated with
the same path and prunes the duplicates, however, it does not detect
when a linked worktree points at the path of the main worktree.
Although "git worktree add" disallows creating a new worktree with the
same path as the main worktree, such a case can arise outside the
control of Git even without the user mucking with .git/worktree/<id>/
administrative files. For instance:

    $ git clone foo.git
    $ git -C foo worktree add ../bar
    $ rm -rf bar
    $ mv foo bar
    $ git -C bar worktree list
    .../bar deadfeeb [master]
    .../bar deadfeeb [bar]

Help the user recover from such corruption by extending "git worktree
prune" to also detect when a linked worktree is associated with the path
of the main worktree.
