[PATCH v3 3/4] read-cache: add remove_file_from_index_with_flags()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
add_file_to_index() takes flags such as ADD_CACHE_PRETEND and
ADD_CACHE_VERBOSE and internally handles both reporting (e.g.,
"add 'path'") and suppressing index updates during dry runs.

In contrast, remove_file_from_index() takes only istate and path
without flags.  Callers that perform file removals (such as
update_callback() in read-cache.c) are forced to manually inspect
ADD_CACHE_PRETEND and ADD_CACHE_VERBOSE flags for removed
files.

Introduce remove_file_from_index_with_flags() to encapsulate
pretend mode and verbose reporting for index removals.  Update
update_callback() to use the new helper.
