[PATCH 03/22] read-cache: move index v2 specific functions to their own file

From
Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com>

In-Reply-To
<1373184720-29767-1-git-send-email-t.gummerer@gmail.com>

Move index version 2 specific functions to their own file. The non-index specific functions will be in read-cache.c, while the index version 2 specific functions will be in read-cache-v2.c.
