When checkout-cache attempts to check out a non-directory where
a directory exists on the work tree, or to check out a file
under directory D when path D is a non-directory on the work
tree, the attempt fails. Before running checkout-cache, the
user can run git-ls-files with the -k (killed) option to get a
list of such paths. The tagged output format uses "K" to denote
them. This is useful for Porcelain layer to be careful when
dealing with the recently corrected behaviour of checkout-cache.

It is kind of surprising that this was missed in the last round,
but the work tree scanner in git-ls-files was still deliberately
ignoring symlinks. This patch fixes it, so that --others will
correctly report unregistered symlinks.

This backports the -t option git-ls-files in Cogito added to the Linus
version.

Allow to store and track symlink in the repository. A symlink is stored
the same way as a regular file, only with the appropriate mode bits set.
The symlink target is therefore stored in a blob object.
This will hopefully make our udev repository fully functional. :)
