[PATCH v2 2/4] reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree"

From: Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net>

This patch makes "reset_index_file()" call "unpack_trees()" directly instead of forking and execing "git read-tree". So the code is more efficient.

And it's also easier to see which unpack_tree() options will be used, as we don't need to follow "git read-tree"'s command line parsing which is quite complex.

As Daniel Barkalow found, there is a difference between this new version and the old one. The old version gives an error for "git reset --merge" with unmerged entries and the new version does not. But this can be seen as a bug fix, because "--merge" was the only "git reset" option with this behavior and this behavior was not documented.

The code comes from the sequencer GSoC project:
