[PATCH v6] t2000: consolidate second scenario into a single test block

The second test scenario in t2000 consists of several fragmented test_expect_success blocks that handle data setup, tree writes, execution of git-checkout-index, and final state validation.

Consolidate these nine separate blocks into a single self-contained test block. This follows the modern Git testing standard where setup, execution, and validation of a single logical scenario are kept together.

As a result of this consolidation, the show_files() helper and its associated test_debug calls are no longer used and have been removed. This also removes a dependency on the non-portable 'find -ls' command.

I'm sorry for replying very late; it was because of some commitments I had to attend to which I've been able to settle.
Changes since v5:
- Consolidate segmented test blocks in the second scenario into a single unit.
- Remove unused show_files debug function and tree3 variable.
- Ensure file setup is inside test_expect_success blocks.
