[PATCH 1/2] resolve-undo: allow resurrecting conflicted state that resolved to deletion

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

The resolve-undo index extension records up to three (mode, object
name) tuples for non-zero stages for each path that was resolved,
to be used to recreate the original conflicted state later when the
user requests.

The unmerge_index_entry_at() function uses the resolve-undo data to
do so, but it assumes that the path for which the conflicted state
needs to be recreated can be specified by the position in the
active_cache[] array.  This obviously cannot salvage a conflicted
state that was resolved by removing them.  A delete-modify conflict,
in which the change whose "modify" side made is a trivial typofix,
may legitimately be resolved to remove the path, and resolve-undo
extension does record the two (mode, object name) tuples for the
common ancestor version and their version, lacking our version.

Introduce a new unmerge_index_entry() helper function that takes the
path (which does not necessarily have to exist in the active_cache[]
array) and resolve-undo data, and use it to reimplement unmerge_index()
public function that is used by "git rerere".

The limited interface is still kept for now, as it is used by "git
checkout -m" and "git update-index --unmerge", but these two codepaths
will be updated to lift the assumption to allow conflicts that resolved
to deletion can be recreated.

 * No new tests, as unmerge_index() that is used by "git rerere"
   already exercises the codepath.  We'll use the new function also
   in "update-index" in a future patch.
