Pull request: worktree script improvements

A few small improvements:
* Use `<root>/.worktrees` as the directory for worktrees so its hidden by default in finder/ls
* Generate names with a timestamp, and allow auto-generating a name so that you can just call eg `./scripts/worktree.sh --compiler --claude` and get a random name
