This is a long overdue clean-up to the code for parsing and passing
diff options. It also tightens some constness issues.

Add -m/--modified to show files that have been modified wrt. the index.
[jc: The original came from Brian Gerst on Sep 1st but it only checked
if the paths were cache dirty without actually checking the files were
modified. I also added the usage string and a new test.]

If the length in the stat information does not match what is recorded
in the index, there is no point rehashing the contents to see if the
index entry can be refreshed.
We need to be a bit careful. Immediately after read-tree or
checkout-index without -u, ce_size is set to zero and does not match
the length of the blob that is recorded, and we need to actually look
at the contents to see if it has been changed.

This makes git-update-index error reporting much less confusing. The
user will know what went wrong with better precision, and will be given
a hopefully less confusing advice.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
