[PATCH 1/8] built-in add -i: allow filtering the modified files list

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In the `update` command of `git add -i`, we are primarily interested in the
list of modified files that have worktree (i.e. unstaged) changes.

At the same time, we need to determine _also_ the staged changes, to be
able to produce the full added/deleted information.

The Perl script version of `git add -i` has a parameter of the
`list_modified()` function for that matter. In C, we can be a lot more
precise, using an `enum`.

The C implementation of the filter also has an easier time to avoid
unnecessary work, simply by using an adaptive order of the `diff-index`
and `diff-files` phases, and then skipping files in the second phase
when they have not been seen in the first phase.
