Worktree creations are implemented similar to how branch creations are
handled on the branch picker (the user types a new name that's not on
the list and a new entry option appears to create a new branch with that
name).

With this picker you have a few workflows:
- Open the picker and type the name of a branch that's checked out on an
existing worktree:
- Press enter to open the worktree on a new window
- Press ctrl-enter to open the worktree and replace the current window
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- Press enter to create the worktree and open in a new window. If the
branch doesn't exists, we will create a new one based on the branch you
have currently checked out. If the branch does exists then we create a
worktree with that branch checked out.
- Press ctrl-enter to do everything on the previous point but instead,
replace the current window with the new worktre.
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- If a default branch is detected on the repo, you can create a new
worktree based on that branch by pressing ctrl-enter or
ctrl-shift-enter. The first one will open a new window and the last one
will replace the current one.
Note: If you preffer to not use the system prompt for choosing a
directory, you can set `"use_system_path_prompts": false` in zed
settings.
Release Notes:
- Added git worktree picker to open a git worktree on a new window or
replace the current one
- Added git worktree creation action
