[PATCH v8 6/9] update-index: use the bulk-checkin infrastructure

["Neeraj Singh via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Neeraj Singh <neerajsi@microsoft.com>

The update-index functionality is used internally by 'git stash push' to
setup the internal stashed commit.

This change enables bulk-checkin for update-index infrastructure to
speed up adding new objects to the object database by leveraging the
pack functionality and the new bulk-fsync functionality.

There is some risk with this change, since under batch fsync, the object
files will not be available until the update-index is entirely complete.
This usage is unlikely, since any tool invoking update-index and
expecting to see objects would have to synchronize with the update-index
process after passing it a file path.
