This addresses a similar concern as in f8eaa0ba98b (submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths, 2016-03-31) When computing the relative path from one to another location, we need to provide both locations as absolute paths to make sure the computation of the relative path is correct. While at it, change `real_work_tree` to be non const as we own the memory.
