The REUC extension stores the stage 1/2/3 data of entries which were
marked resolved by the user, to enable 'git checkout -m <name>' to
restore the conflicted state later.
When a file was deleted on one side of the merge and unmodified on the
other, merge-recursive uses remove_file_from_cache() to remove it from
the result index. This uses remove_index_entry_at(), which calls
record_resolve_undo().
Such REUC entries are in fact even useless: neither 'git checkout -m'
nor 'git update-index --unresolve' can resurrect the file (the former
because there is no corresponding index entry, the latter because the
file is missing one side).
Solve this by taking a more specific approach to record_resolve_undo():
* git-rm and 'git update-index --remove' go through
remove_file_from_cache(), just like merge-recursive. Make them use
a new _extended version that optionally records REUC.
* git-add and 'git update-index conflicted_file' go through the
add_index_entry() call chain. git-apply and git-read-tree use
add_index_entry() too. However, they insert stage-0 entries, which
already means resolving. So even if these cases were not caught
earlier, saving the unresolved state would be correct.
So we can unconditionally record REUC deeper in the call chain.
(git-mv calls remove_index_entry_at() through rename_index_entry_at();
however, it refuses to work on unresolved files. So that's okay too.)

Thomas and me discovered this while hacking on index-v5. It would be
a bit tricky to handle there: the index is structured according to the
directory layout of the files it contains, and the REUC data is the
same as the conflict (stages) data plus a flag bit, for (future)
easier toggling between them. With the behavior before this patch, it
is possible to have directories that do not have any "live" files, yet
contain REUC records. For example, in git.git,
$ git checkout 8e17b34c33^1
$ git merge 8e17b34c33^2
$ g ls-files -s | grep arpa
$ g ls-files --resolve-undo | grep arpa
100644 0d8552a2c6dc3a5fee5360ea2ff468463461e3bf 1 compat/vcbuild/include/arpa/inet.h
100644 0d8552a2c6dc3a5fee5360ea2ff468463461e3bf 3 compat/vcbuild/include/arpa/inet.h
(and several other files in the same commit). So this patch would let
us keep the complexity of that handling down, by not running into such
cases.
