Subject: [PATCH 18/20] update-index: manually enable or disable untracked cache

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>

Some numbers below. In short, the saving on wt_status_collect_untracked()
is about 80%. There are some overhead on read/write_cache, but it seems
lower than 50ms, while the .._untracked() saving is in the 500ms range
(except linux-2.6, about 150ms). "git status" time saving ranges from
33% to 42%.

On gentoo-x86.git (100k files, 23k dirs, quite balance
tree, 8.5MB index v4, cache-tree fully populated), before turning
untracked cache on (the most important line is wt_status_collect:625)

   184.650 gitmodules_config:201 if (read_cache() < 0) die("index
     0.004 cmd_status:1299 read_cache_preload(&s.pathspec)
   226.231 cmd_status:1300 refresh_index(&the_index, REFRESH_QUIET

real    0m1.211s
user    0m0.566s

and after (saving 42% total time):

    36.368 cmd_status:1299 read_cache_preload(&s.pathspec)

On webkit.git (182k files, 6k dirs, 14M index v4), before:
