Changing this to a file instead of using a symlink serves two purposes:
* We can insert some comments & doc links to help users learn what this
is for, discover relevant documentation, and to discourage them from
modifying things.
* Windows requires Administrator access to use symlinks. With this
last change, Windows users can get repo client checkouts with the new
--worktree option and not need symlinks anywhere at all. Which means
they no longer need to be an Administrator in order to `repo sync`.

This allows people to write ~/.repoconfig/config akin to ~/.gitconfig
and .repo/config akin to .git/config. This allows us to add settings
specific to repo without mixing up git, and to persist in general.

Make it clear that the paths have a .git suffix, and clarify the
reason for not using remote servers in the layout.

This provides initial support for using git worktrees internally
instead of our own ad-hoc symlink tree. It's been lightly tested
which is why it's not currently exposed via --help.
When people opt-in to worktrees in an existing repo client checkout,
no projects are migrated. Instead, only new projects will use the
worktree method. This allows for limited testing/opting in without
having to completely blow things away or get a second checkout.

This allows users to specify custom hashtags when uploading, both via
the CLI and via the same gitconfig settings as other upload options.

Currently the only reference for these is the source which can be a
pita when needing to refer to something quickly.
