[PATCH 3/5] read-cache: allow index-helper to prepare shm before git reads it

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

If index-helper puts 'W' before pid in $GIT_DIR/index-helper.pid, then
git will sleep for a while, expecting to be waken up by SIGUSR1 when
index-helper has done shm preparation, or after the timeout.
