git add: rework the logic to warn "git add <pathspec>..." default change

The earlier logic to warn against "git add subdir" that is run without "-A" or "--no-all" was only to check any <pathspec> given exactly spells a directory name that (still) exists on the filesystem. This had number of problems: * "git add '*dir'" (note that the wildcard is hidden from the shell) would not trigger the warning. * "git add '*.py'" would behave differently between the current version of Git and Git 2.0 for the same reason as "subdir", but would not trigger the warning. * "git add dir" for a submodule "dir" would just update the index entry for the submodule "dir" without ever recursing into it, and use of "-A" or "--no-all" would matter. But the logic only checks the directory-ness of "dir" and gives an unnecessary warning. Rework the logic to detect the case where the behaviour will be different in Git 2.0, and issue a warning only when it matters. Even with the code before this warning, "git add subdir" will have to traverse the directory in order to find _new_ files the index does not know about _anyway_, so we can do this check without adding an extra pass to find if <pathspec> matches any removed file. This essentially updates the "add_files_to_cache()" public API to "update_files_in_cache()" API that is internal to "git add", because with the "--all" option, the function is no longer about "adding" paths to the cache, but is also used to remove them. There are other callers of the former from "checkout" (used when "checkout -m" prepares the temporary tree that represents the local modifications to be merged) and "commit" ("commit --include" that picks up local changes in addition to what is in the index). Since ADD_CACHE_IGNORE_ERRORS (aka "--no-all") is not used by either of them, once dust settles after Git 2.0 and the warning becomes unnecessary, we may want to unify these two functions again.
