The intention of `git init --separate-work-dir=<path>` is to move the .git/ directory to a location outside of the main worktree. When used within a linked worktree, however, rather than moving the .git/ directory as intended, it instead incorrectly moves the worktree's .git/worktrees/<id> directory to <path>, thus disconnecting the linked worktree from its parent repository and breaking the worktree in the process since its local .git file no longer points at a location at which it can find the object database. Fix this broken behavior. An intentional side-effect of this change is that it also closes a loophole not caught by ccf236a23a (init: disallow --separate-git-dir with bare repository, 2020-08-09) in which the check to prevent --separate-git-dir being used in conjunction with a bare repository was unable to detect the invalid combination when invoked from within a linked worktree. Therefore, add a test to verify that this loophole is closed, as well.
