[PATCH 00/12] Remove more index compatibility macros

I noticed that Duy's project around USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS has been on pause for a while. Here is my attempt to continue that project a little.

I started going through the builtins that still use cache_name_pos() and the first few were easy: merge-inex, mv, rm.

Then I hit update-index and it was a bit bigger. It's included here as well.

My strategy for update-index was to create static globals "repo" and "istate" that point to the_repository and the_index, respectively. Then, I was able to remove macros one-by-one without changing method prototypes within the file.

I had started trying to keep everything local to the method signatures, but I hit a snag when reaching the command-line parsing callbacks, which I could not modify their call signature. At that point, I had something that was already much more complicated than what I present now. Outside of the first update-index commit, everything was a mechanical find/replace.

In total, this allows us to remove four of the compatibility macros because they are no longer used.

Thanks, -Stolee
