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.

Sharing code between shell scripts and C is a challenge. The program
git-var allows us to have a set of named values that a shell script can
interrogate and a normal C program can simply call the functions that
compute them. Allowing sharing when computing plain test values.
