diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items
Earlier, if you changed a staged path into a directory in the work tree, we happily ran lstat(2) on it and found that it exists, and declared that the user changed it to a gitlink. This is wrong for two reasons: (1) It may be a directory, but it may not be a submodule, and in the latter case, the change we need to report is "the blob at the path has disappeared". We need to check with resolve_gitlink_ref() to be consistent with what "git add" and "git update-index --add" does. (2) lstat(2) may have succeeded only because a leading component of the path was turned into a symbolic link that points at something that exists in the work tree. In such a case, the path itself does not exist anymore, as far as the index is concerned. This fixes these breakages in diff-index that the previous patch has exposed.
