Closes #54641

Release Notes:

- Fixed creating git worktrees in WSL remote projects from Windows.

## Summary

- Preserve the repository `PathStyle` when constructing git worktree
paths.
- Avoid using local OS path separators when creating worktrees for
remote Posix projects such as WSL.
- Keep worktree archive path checks aligned with the same
path-style-aware worktree directory calculation.

## Root Cause

Remote repository paths are stored as `PathBuf`s, but `PathBuf::join`
and related path operations use the client OS separator. On Windows
clients connected to WSL, this could turn a remote Linux path into a
mixed path like `/home/<user>/\home\<user>\dev\worktrees\...`, causing
worktree creation and opening to fail.

## Validation

- `cargo fmt --all --check`
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test -p project
test_new_worktree_path_uses_posix_style_for_remote_paths`
- `cargo test -p project test_worktree_directory_uses_remote_path_style`
- `cargo test -p project test_join_path_for_style_uses_remote_separator`
