The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce)
means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know
there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody
should have to double check. Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not
mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is
clean.
There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among
them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return
value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the
work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its
HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of
the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered
clean).
A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD
matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent
people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the
superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the
state in the superproject. However, the patch to do so didn't update
the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated
definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the
return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules."
This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule
entries up-to-date.
The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to
cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty",
call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new
bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but
that can be a separate patch.

This uses the new thread-safe 'threaded_has_symlink_leading_path()'
function to efficiently verify that the whole path leading up to the
filename is a proper path, and does not contain symlinks.
This makes 'ce_uptodate()' a much stronger guarantee: it no longer just
guarantees that the 'lstat()' of the path would match, it also means
that we know that people haven't played games with moving directories
around and covered it up with symlinks.

This introduces make variable NO_PTHREADS for platforms that lack the
support for pthreads library or people who do not want to use it for
whatever reason. When defined, it makes the multi-threaded index
preloading into a no-op, and also disables threaded delta searching by
pack-objects.

In the threaded index preloading case, we must be sure to always use the
CE_MATCH_RACY_IS_DIRTY flag when calling ie_match_stat(), in order to make
sure that we only ever look at the stat() data, and don't try to do
anything fancy.
Because most of git internals are not thread-safe, and must not be called
in parallel.
Otherwise, what happens is that if the timestamps indicate that an entry
_might_ be dirty, we might start actually comparing filesystem data with
the object database. And we mustn't do that, because that would involve
looking up and creating the object structure, and that whole code sequence
with read_sha1_file() where we look up and add objects to the hashes is
definitely not thread-safe.
Nor do we want to add locking, because the whole point of the preload was
to be simple and not affect anything else. With CE_MATCH_RACY_IS_DIRTY, we
get what we wanted, and we'll just leave the hard cases well alone, to be
done later in the much simpler serial case.

This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much
improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have
weak metadata caching.
Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an
optimistic preload of the index stat data. The function takes a
pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant
portion of the index.
