Non-recursive checkout creates empty directpries in place of submodules.
If then I try to "checkout --to" submodules there, it refuses to do so,
because directory already exists.
Fix by allowing checking out to empty directory. Add test and modify the
existing one so that it uses non-empty directory.

For normal use cases, it does not make sense for 'checkout' to work on
a bare repository, without a worktree. But "checkout --to" is an
exception because it _creates_ a new worktree. Allow this option to
run on bare repositories.
People who check out from a bare repository should remember that
core.logallrefupdates is off by default and it should be turned back
on. `--to` cannot do this automatically behind the user's back because
some user may deliberately want no reflog.
For people interested in repository setup/discovery code,
is_bare_repository_cfg (aka "core.bare") is unchanged by this patch,
which means 'true' by default for bare repos. Fortunately when we get
the repo through a linked checkout, is_bare_repository_cfg is never
used. So all is still good.

One branch obviously can't be checked out at two places (but detached
heads are ok). Give the user a choice in this case: --detach, -b
new-branch, switch branch in the other checkout first or simply 'cd'
and continue to work there.

"git checkout --to" sets up a new working directory with a .git file
pointing to $GIT_DIR/worktrees/<id>. It then executes "git checkout"
again on the new worktree with the same arguments except "--to" is
taken out. The second checkout execution, which is not contaminated
with any info from the current repository, will actually check out and
everything that normal "git checkout" does.
