[PATCH 1/4] worktree: refactor infer_backlink() to use *strbuf

[Caleb White <cdwhite3@xxxxx>]

This refactors the `infer_backlink` function to return an integer
result and use a pre-allocated `strbuf` for the inferred backlink
path, replacing the previous `char*` return type.

This lays the groundwork for the next patch, which needs the
resultant backlink as a `strbuf`. There was no need to go from
`strbuf -> char* -> strbuf` again. This change also aligns the
function's signature with other `strbuf`-based functions.
