add: use preload-index and fscache for performance
Teach "add" to use preload-index and fscache features to improve performance on very large repositories. During an "add", a call is made to run_diff_files() which calls check_remove() for each index-entry. This calls lstat(). On Windows, the fscache code intercepts the lstat() calls and builds a private cache using the FindFirst/FindNext routines, which are much faster. Somewhat independent of this, is the preload-index code which distributes some of the start-up costs across multiple threads. We need to keep the call to read_cache() before parsing the pathspecs (and hence cannot use the pathspecs to limit any preload) because parse_pathspec() is using the index to determine whether a pathspec is, in fact, in a submodule. If we would not read the index first, parse_pathspec() would not error out on a path that is inside a submodule, and t7400-submodule-basic.sh would fail with not ok 47 - do not add files from a submodule We still want the nice preload performance boost, though, so we simply call read_cache_preload(&pathspecs) after parsing the pathspecs.
