When "git branch -D <name>" is run, Git usually first checks if that
branch is currently checked out. But this check is not performed if the
Git directory of that repository is not at "<repo>/.git", which is the
case if that repository is a submodule that has its Git directory stored
as "super/.git/modules/<repo>", for example.

This is because get_main_worktree() in worktree.c sets is_bare on a
worktree only using the heuristic that a repo is bare if the worktree's
path ends in "/.git", and not bare otherwise. This is_bare code was
introduced in 92718b7438 ("worktree: add details to the worktree
struct", 2015-10-08), following a pre-core.bare heuristic. This patch
does 2 things:

 - Teach get_main_worktree() to use is_bare_repository() instead,
   introduced in 7d1864ce67 ("Introduce is_bare_repository() and
   core.bare configuration variable", 2007-01-07) and updated in
   e90fdc39b6 ("Clean up work-tree handling", 2007-08-01). This solves
   the "git branch -D <name>" problem described above. However...

 - If a repository has core.bare=1 but the "git" command is being run
   from one of its added worktrees, is_bare_repository() returns false
   (which is fine, since there is a worktree available). However,
   commands like "git worktree list" currently distinguish between a
   repository that has core.bare=1 but has a worktree available, and a
   repository that is truly non-bare (core.bare=0). To preserve this
   distinction, also check core.bare when setting is_bare. If
   core.bare=1, trust it, and otherwise, use is_bare_repository().
