[PATCH 4/4] add -A: only show pathless 'add -A' warning when changes exist outside cwd

In the spirit of the recent similar change for 'git add -u', avoid pestering users that restrict their attention to a subdirectory and will not be affected by the coming change in the behavior of pathless 'git add -A'.
