Earlier, if you changed a staged path into a directory in the work tree,
we happily ran lstat(2) on it and found that it exists, and declared that
the user changed it to a gitlink.
This is wrong for two reasons:
(1) It may be a directory, but it may not be a submodule, and in the
latter case, the change we need to report is "the blob at the path
has disappeared". We need to check with resolve_gitlink_ref() to be
consistent with what "git add" and "git update-index --add" does.
(2) lstat(2) may have succeeded only because a leading component of the
path was turned into a symbolic link that points at something that
exists in the work tree. In such a case, the path itself does not
exist anymore, as far as the index is concerned.
This fixes these breakages in diff-index that the previous patch has
exposed.
