[PATCH v1] read-cache: add GIT_TEST_INDEX_VERSION support

<20180912212544.33624-1-benpeart@microsoft.com>

Teach get_index_format_default() to support running the test suite with specific index versions. In particular, this enables the test suite to be run using index version 4 which is not the default so gets less testing.
