Jeff Hostetler e56081b94c 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.
