attr.c: extract read_index_data() as read_blob_data_from_index()

Extract the read_index_data() function from attr.c and move it to
read-cache.c; rename it to read_blob_data_from_index() and update
the function signature of it to align better with index/cache API
functions.

This allows for reusing the function in convert.c later.
