worktree: teach `list --porcelain` to annotate locked worktree
Commit c57b3367be (worktree: teach `list` to annotate locked worktree, 2020-10-11) taught "git worktree list" to annotate locked worktrees by appending "locked" text to its output, however, this is not listed in the --porcelain format. Teach "list --porcelain" to do the same and add a "locked" attribute followed by its reason, thus making both default and porcelain format consistent. If the locked reason is not available then only "locked" is shown. The output of the "git worktree list --porcelain" becomes like so: $ git worktree list --porcelain ... worktree /path/to/locked HEAD 123abcdea123abcd123acbd123acbda123abcd12 detached locked worktree /path/to/locked-with-reason HEAD abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc1 detached locked reason why it is locked ... In porcelain mode, if the lock reason contains special characters such as newlines, they are escaped with backslashes and the entire reason is enclosed in double quotes. For example: $ git worktree list --porcelain ... locked "worktree's path mounted in\nremovable device" ... Furthermore, let's update the documentation to state that some attributes in the porcelain format might be listed alone or together with its value depending whether the value is available or not. Thus documenting the case of the new "locked" attribute.

The porcelain format has a line per attribute. Attributes are listed with a
label and value separated by a single space. Boolean attributes (like `bare`
and `detached`) are listed as a label only, and are present only
