checkout-index: handle "--no-index" option
The parsing of "--index" is done in a callback, but it does not handle an "unset" option. We don't necessarily expect anyone to use this, but the current behavior is to treat it exactly like "--index", which would probably be surprising. Instead, let's just turn it into an OPT_BOOL, and handle it after we're done parsing. This makes "--no-index" just work (it cancels a previous "--index"). As a bonus, this makes the logic easier to follow. The old code opened the index during the option parsing, leaving the reader to wonder if there was some timing issue (there isn't; none of the other options care that we've opened it). And then if we found that "--prefix" had been given, we had to rollback the index. Now we can simply avoid opening it in the first place. Note that it might make more sense for checkout-index to complain when "--index --prefix=foo" is given (rather than silently ignoring "--index"), but since it has been that way since 415e96c ([PATCH] Implement git-checkout-cache -u to update stat information in the cache., 2005-05-15), it's safer to leave it as-is.
