And indeed, some clever person already made this distinction in the
git-status output, but it has been broken for a while. I'm not sure this
is worth a test now that it is fixed (but such a test _would_ have
caught this); I can make one if you like.

status: suggest "git rm --cached" to unstage for initial commit
It makes no sense to suggest "git reset HEAD" since we have
no HEAD commit. This actually used to work but regressed in
f26a0012.
wt_status_print_cached_header was updated to take the whole
wt_status struct rather than just the reference field.
Previously the various code paths were sometimes sending in
s->reference and sometimes sending in NULL, making the
decision on whether this was an initial commit before we
even got to this function. Now we must check the initial
flag here.
