Improve performance of persisting an index by magnitudes
When updating smudged entries use a pathfilter to iterate only over
working tree files which have an associated smudged index entry.
Commit dac66672df0535f61a13273524d46e1e0012ca69 introduced that we
check and update smudged entries while persisting a dircache. Before
that commit adding a file to git caused file i/o for the index file,
the object database (to store new content) and all files we wanted to
add (to read new content). After that commit we have additionally file
i/o for every file in the working tree (even ignored files).
Especially on windows iterating over the working tree can be very
time consuming. This decreased the performance of persisting a dircache
dramatically (I measured factors 4 to 10 while adding a file to linux
kernel repo). One could easily see this effect when dragging&dropping
modified files in a linux kernel repo in the egit staging view.
