Johannes Schindelin 5ff37622ec commit --interactive: make it work with the built-in add -i ...

The built-in `git add -i` machinery obviously has its `the_repository`
structure initialized at the point where `cmd_commit()` calls it, and
therefore does not look at the environment variable `GIT_INDEX_FILE`.

But it has to, because the index was already locked, and we want to ask
the interactive add machinery to work on the `index.lock` file instead
of the `index` file.

Technically, we could teach `run_add_i()` (and `run_add_p()`) to look
specifically at that environment variable, but the entire idea of
passing in a parameter of type `struct repository *` is to allow working
on multiple repositories (and their index files) independently.

So let's instead override the `index_file` field of that structure
temporarily.
