[PATCH 1/4] add: make pathless 'add [-u|-A]' warning a file-global function

Currently warn_pathless_add() is only called directly by cmd_add(), but that is about to change. Move its definition higher in the file and pass the "--update" or "--all" option name used in its message through globals instead of function arguments to make it easier to call without passing values that will not change through the call chain.
