This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with
exclude). At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean",
"git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and
unpack_trees()-related commands. These commands have been
checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing.
add_excludes_from_file() does not enable this feature, because it
is used to read .git/info/exclude and some explicit files specified
by "git ls-files".

Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML
documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are
there.
I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic
in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as
needed.
