Teach read-tree the -n|--dry-run option
The option can be used to check if read-tree with the same set of other
options like "-m" and "-u" would succeed without actually changing either
the index or the working tree.
The relevant tests in the t10?? range were extended to do a read-tree -n
before the real read-tree to make sure neither the index nor any local
files were changed with -n and the same exit code as without -n is
returned. The helper functions added for that purpose reside in the new
t/lib-read-tree.sh file.
The only exception is #13 in t1004 ("unlinking an un-unlink-able
symlink"). As this is an issue of wrong directory permissions it is not
detected with -n.
