Add git-update-cache --replace option.

When "path" exists as a file or a symlink in the index, an
attempt to add "path/file" is refused because it results in file
vs directory conflict.  Similarly when "path/file1",
"path/file2", etc. exist, an attempt to add "path" as a file or
a symlink is refused.  With git-update-cache --replace, these
existing entries that conflict with the entry being added are
automatically removed from the cache, with warning messages.
