worktree: do not pass strbuf by value
write_worktree_linking_files() takes two struct strbuf parameters by value, even though it only reads path strings from them. Passing a strbuf by value is misleading and dangerous. The structure carries a pointer to its underlying character array; caller and callee end up sharing that storage. If the callee ever causes the strbuf to be reallocated, the caller's copy becomes a dangling pointer, which results in a double-free when the caller does strbuf_release(). The function only needs the string values, not the strbuf machinery. Switch it to take const char * and update all callers to pass .buf.
