commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=90790790925c5d456ce7585afdf6e42aa25fd9ea
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The docker-run script attempts to support git-new-workdirs and
git-worktrees by resolving the symlink at '$GIT_DIR/config' to get the
true $GIT_DIR. However this does not work for git-worktrees as they do
not use symlinks, instead they change the $GIT_DIR into a regular file
that contains the path to the real $GIT_DIR. To complicate things
further, we actually want the $GIT_COMMON_DIR which is the superset of a
worktree's $GIT_DIR.

git-rev-parse supports the '--git-common-dir' which will resolve the
$GIT_COMMON_DIR for us. However it does not work for git-new-workdirs,
so we still need to detect and handle them.

'--git-common-dir' also appeared only with git 2.10.0, released in 2016,
so it will not be available in older "enterprise-grade" distributions.
In that case, 'git rev-parse --git-common-dir' would return the option
flag '--git-common-dir' as-is, which is incorrect. So, we instruct it to
never return flags.

'--git-common-dir' also returns just '.git' for the main working copy,
but 'docker run' want an absolute path, so we canonicalise it.

[yann.morin.1998 at free.fr:
  - support git versions before --git-common-dir was introduced
  - don't mount GIT_DIR if unknown (i.e. not needed)
  - fix expanding MAIN_DIR
