repository: introduce commondir variable
The commondir variable stores the path to the common directory.
The common directory is used to store objects and references
shared across multiple repositories. A current use case is the
newly introduced `git worktree` feature, which sets up a separate
working copy, where the backing git object store and references
are pointed to by the common directory.
