This version includes the following changes since v4:
1. The last patch has been removed; it's pretty much always a good
idea to wait for the index-helper
2. Documentation for index-helper --kill and --autorun. Documentation
for update-index --watchman. Documentation for index-format for WAMA.
Documentation for index-helper suggesting running update-index --watchman.
3. index-helper autorun moved to read-cache so it's only run on relevant
commands.
4. Tests: Broken && chain fixed; removed a subshell
5. A couple of fd leaks fixed.
6. Cruft removed.
7. New perf numbers.
