[PATCH v1] read-cache: add GIT_TEST_INDEX_VERSION support

[Ben Peart <benpeart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Teach get_index_format_default() to support running the test suite
with specific index versions.  In particular, this enables the test suite
to be run using index version 4 which is not the default so gets less testing.
