When we know that mtime is fully supported by the environment, we
might want the untracked cache to be always used by default without
any mtime test or kernel version check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not supported by the environment,
for example because the repo is shared over a network file system,
then we might want 'git update-index --untracked-cache' to fail
immediately instead of it testing if it works (because it might
work on some systems using the repo over the network file system
but not others).
