reset [--mixed]: only write index file once

When doing a mixed reset without paths, the index is locked, read,
reset, and written back as part of the actual reset operation (in
reset_index()). Then, when showing the list of worktree modifications,
we lock the index again, refresh it, and write it.

Change this so we only write the index once, making "git reset" a
little faster. It does mean that the index lock will be held a little
longer, but the difference is small compared to the time spent
refreshing the index.

There is one minor functional difference: We used to say "Could not
write new index file." if the first write failed, and "Could not
refresh index" if the second write failed. Now, we will only use the
first message.

This speeds up "git reset" a little on the linux-2.6 repo (best of
five, warm cache):
