This patch makes buildman create linked working trees instead of clones of the source repository, but keeps updating the older clones of the repository that might already exist. These worktrees share "everything except working directory specific files such as HEAD, index, etc." with the source repository. See the git-worktree(1) manual page for more information.
If git-worktree isn't available, silently falls back to cloning the repository.

I used 'git worktree list's return code, since 'git worktree' returns non-zero (prints usage) even if it's available.
This does fall back to git clone on my Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 VM, but all the builds instantly give an error about the Makefile even before this patch. The buildman parts are working as far as I can tell.
Changes in v2:
- Fall back to cloning if git-worktree isn't available
- Add a gitutil.CheckWorktreeIsAvailable(git_dir) function
- Refactor the _PrepareThread changes
- Make _PrepeareThread's setup_git argument accept 'clone' or 'worktree'
- Some comment and docstring changes
