Currently, we have different wordings for the same index read error
message, which may be confusing to users and increase3s the risk of more
severely different translated messages:
builtin/apply.c: die(_("unable to read index file"));
show-index.c: die("unable to read index");
show-index.c: die("unable to read index");
test-dump-cache-tree.c: die("unable to read index file");
test-dump-untracked-cache.c: die("unable to read index file");
test-scrap-cache-tree.c: die("unable to read index file");
builtin/commit.c: die(_("Cannot read index"));
rerere.c: return error("Could not read index");
rerere.c: return error("Could not read index");
rerere.c: return error("Could not read index");
Turn all of them into "unable to read index file" except for the rerere
messages: They appear on a higher level (index file access + parsing)
and are worded similarly to other rerere messages.
