Description
Ensure uncommitted changes are displayed in dashboard. When the workspace was restored from a backup and subsequently stopped, uncommitted changes were not displayed in the dashboard anymore. The reason was that the location we use to check for changes was incorrect, because we get the checkout location from the initializer and the backup initializer does not use git and hence cannot provide the checkout location.
The checkout location is now provided as part of the workspace init request.

Notes for reviewers
It looks like bigger repositories like gitpod itself currently do not backup correctly in the preview environment (unreleated to my changes). I used this for testing.
