          addresses dspinellis#9: Store issues as dedicated 'issues' branch

It's mostly a straightforward (naive?) port of @kaveman's [comment][1].
There may be a way to make it more in-line with the existing style.

I've tried to take care of some common edge cases:
- aborts if the working tree is dirty
- aborts if there's already an `issues` branch
- tries to create the worktree in the branch the command was issued from
- [ ] I'm not sure what happens if the command is issued in detached head,
  or it can't find the original branch for some reason).
- [ ] I think it'll fail if you try it from a branch that doesn't have
  any commits yet.
- unlike dspinellis#100, it preserves backward-compatibility in the flags (really,
  I just didn't spot that RP before making this one).
