recent_projects: Fix worktree path resolving to bare repo in recent projects modal (#52996)
## Context

When using a bare-repo-based git worktree layout (e.g. `foo/.bare` as
the bare repository and `foo/my-feature` as a linked worktree), the
"recent projects" modal was showing `foo/.bare` instead of
`foo/my-feature`.

The root cause was in `original_repo_path_from_common_dir` — when
resolving a linked worktree back to its "main" repo, the function reads
the `commondir` file which, for bare repos, points to the bare directory
itself (e.g. `foo/.bare`). Since that path doesn't end in `.git`, the
old code fell back to returning it as-is. This bare repo path was then
substituted into the workspace's stored paths, causing the modal to show
the bare directory instead of the actual worktree the user had opened.

The fix makes `original_repo_path_from_common_dir` return
`Option<PathBuf>`, returning `None` when `common_dir` doesn't end with
`.git`. `resolve_git_worktree_to_main_repo` propagates this `None`,
meaning the original worktree path is preserved in recent projects
rather than being replaced with the bare repo path.

Closes #52931

## How to Review

- **`crates/git/src/repository.rs`** :
`original_repo_path_from_common_dir` changed to return
`Option<PathBuf>`. Returns `None` for bare repos (no `.git` suffix). The
existing `original_repo_path` call site falls back to `work_directory`
when `None` is returned, preserving its prior behaviour. Unit test
expectations updated accordingly, with the bare-repo case now asserting
`None`.

- **`crates/project/src/git_store.rs`** :
`resolve_git_worktree_to_main_repo` now simply forwards the
`Option<PathBuf>` returned by `original_repo_path_from_common_dir`
directly, propagating `None` for bare repos so the caller keeps the
original worktree path.

- **`crates/workspace/src/persistence.rs`** : New test
`test_resolve_worktree_workspaces_bare_repo` exercises the exact
scenario from the issue: a workspace entry pointing to a linked worktree
whose `commondir` resolves to a bare repo. Asserts the path is left
unchanged.
