[EGIT PATCH 12/26] Support recreating a .git/index through DirCache

The DirCacheBuilder is meant for building up a new DirCache content by iterating through the paths in proper Git sort order. This is mostly useful during a TreeWalk, where the paths are being fed to the application in the correct sort ordering. Appending them into the new entry table in order avoids sorting costs later on when we try to write the file back to disk.

The API is designed for speed, not ease-of-use. Performing updates in order and by copying large ranges of the existing index into the new index is incredibly fast, but requires the application to work harder to construct the right sequence of calls.
