cache-tree: remove use of strbuf_addf in update_one

String formatting can be a performance issue when there are
hundreds of thousands of trees.

Change to stop using the strbuf_addf and just add the strings
or characters individually.

There are a limited number of modes so added a switch for the
known ones and a default case if something comes through that
are not a known one for git.

In one scenario regarding a huge worktree, this reduces the
time required for a `git checkout <branch>` from 44 seconds
to 38 seconds, i.e. it is a non-negligible performance
improvement.
