    worktree: don't die() in library function find_worktree() · 4c5fa9e6

    Callers don't expect library function find_worktree() to die(); they
    expect it to return the named worktree if found, or NULL if not.
    Although find_worktree() itself never invokes die(), it calls
    real_pathdup() with 'die_on_error' incorrectly set to 'true', thus will
    die() indirectly if the user-provided path is not to real_pathdup()'s
    liking. This can be observed, for instance, with any git-worktree
    command which searches for an existing worktree:
    
        $ git worktree unlock foo
        fatal: 'foo' is not a working tree
        $ git worktree unlock foo/bar
        fatal: Invalid path '.../foo': No such file or directory
    
    The first error message is the expected one from "git worktree unlock"
    not finding the specified worktree; the second is from find_worktree()
    invoking real_pathdup() incorrectly and die()ing prematurely.
    
    Aside from the inconsistent error message between the two cases, this
    bug hasn't otherwise been a serious problem since existing callers all
    die() anyhow when the worktree can't be found. However, that may not be
    true of callers added in the future, so fix find_worktree() to avoid
    die()ing.
