[PATCH v4 06/11] add.c: move pathspec matchers into new pathspec.c for reuse

[Adam Spiers <git@adamspiers.org>]

Extract the following functions from builtin/add.c to pathspec.c, in
preparation for reuse by a new git check-ignore command:

  - fill_pathspec_matches()
  - find_used_pathspec()

The functions being extracted are not changed in any way, except
removal of the 'static' qualifier.

Also add comments documenting these newly public functions,
including clarifications that they operate on the index.

Signed-off-by: Adam Spiers <git@adamspiers.org>
---
The v3 version of this patch extracted 5 functions from add.c to
pathspec.c, two of which did not need to be extracted.  Here we
use more fine-grained commits for extraction, and also wrap pathspec.h
in a PATHSPEC_H gate to avoid duplication.
