[PATCH 3/6] apply: fix adding new files on i-t-a entries

Suppose that you came up with some contents to register at path F in
your working tree, told Git about your intention with "add -N F", and
then tried to apply a patch that wants to _create_ F:

Without this patch, we would say "F already exists so a patch to
create is incompatible with our current state".

With this patch, i-t-a entries are ignored and we do not say that, but
instead we'll hopefully trigger "does it exist in the working tree"
check, unless you are running under "--cached".

Which means that this change will not lead to data loss in the
"untracked" file F in the working tree that was merely added to the
index with i-t-a bit.

(commit message mostly from Junio)
