[PATCH v2 1/4] diff: ignore --ita-[in]visible-in-index when diffing worktree-to-tree

This option is supposed to fix the diff of "diff-files" (not reporting ita entries as new files) and "diff-index --cached <tree>" ( showing ita entries as present in the index with empty content) but not "diff-index <tree>".

When --ita-invisible-in-index is set on "git diff-index <tree>", unpack_trees() will eventually call oneway_diff() on the ita entry with the same code flow as "diff-index --cached <tree>". We want to ignore the ita entry for "diff-index --cached <tree>" but not "diff-index <tree>" since the latter will examine and produce a diff based on worktree entry's (real) content, not ita index entry's (empty) content.
