Use a worktree instead of a full clone to check out each revision for a git source.

This seems to enable git lfs to just work somehow
This should also reduce the disk consumption, as we don't have to repeat the .git folder.

Also run git submodule update --init --recursive in each worktree after checking it out.

This should enable submodules. It is a nop, and quite fast if there are no submodules.

Still some kinks to work out with backwards compatibility, but I think it could be made to work at least upwards. (doing cache repair with an older dart sdk will probably break).

TODO: write a spec for the cache layout (this needs to include the old layout, naming conventions etc).

This can live as an md file in doc/pub-cache.md

(after offline discussion) Let's try this without the submodule support (just yet) there are still some open questions.

It is possible that use of sub-modules will conflict with future ideas, such as resolving by version-tags...

We should also find out and document which version of git we require for this to work.

We should find out how far back git includes worktree support, and require that as a minimum git version.
