Introduce worktree helper scripts for faster multi-branch development in PowerToys (#42076) <!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? --> ## Summary of the Pull Request This pull request introduces a new suite of helper scripts for managing Git worktrees in the `tools/build` directory, along with comprehensive documentation. The scripts streamline common workflows such as creating, reusing, and deleting worktrees for feature branches, forks, and issue-based development, making it easier for developers to work on multiple changes in parallel without duplicating the repository. Each script is provided as both a PowerShell (`.ps1`) and Windows batch (`.cmd`) wrapper for convenience. A detailed markdown guide explains usage patterns, scenarios, and best practices. **New worktree management scripts:** * Added `New-WorktreeFromFork.ps1`/`.cmd` to create a worktree from a branch in a personal fork, handling remote creation and branch tracking automatically.

.SYNOPSIS
Create (or reuse) a worktree for an existing local or remote (origin) branch.
.DESCRIPTION
Normalizes origin/<name> to <name>. If the branch does not exist locally (and -NoFetch is not
provided) it will fetch and create a tracking branch from origin. Reuses any existing worktree
bound to the branch; otherwise creates a new one adjacent to the repository root.
.PARAMETER Branch
Branch name (local or origin/<name> form) to materialize as a worktree.
.PARAMETER VSCodeProfile
VS Code profile to open (Default).
.PARAMETER NoFetch
Skip fetch if branch missing locally; script will error instead of creating it.
.EXAMPLE
./New-WorktreeFromBranch.ps1 -Branch feature/login
.EXAMPLE
./New-WorktreeFromBranch.ps1 -Branch origin/bugfix/nullref
.EXAMPLE
./New-WorktreeFromBranch.ps1 -Branch release/v1 -NoFetch
.NOTES

git fetch origin && git checkout <branch>
