resolve-undo: record resolved conflicts in a new index extension section

When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or
"git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at()
function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage)
entries from the index.  Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.

Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary.  The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.
