In 652bd0211d (rebase: use 'skip_cache_tree_update' option, 2022-11-10),
we updated `reset_working_tree()` to stop updating the index tree cache.
This was done as a performance optimization: the function is only called
by "sequencer.c" and "rebase.c", both of which assume a clean index
before they perform their operation, so we know that the end result will
be a clean index, too. Consequently, we can skip recomputing the cache
as we can instead use `prime_cache_tree()` directly.

In a subsequent commit we're about to add a new caller though where the
assumption doesn't hold anymore: the index may be dirty before calling
`reset_working_tree()`, and consequently we cannot prime the cache with
a given tree anymore as the index and tree will mismatch.

Adapt the logic so that we only skip the cache tree update in case we're
doing a hard reset. While we could introduce logic that only skips the
update in case the incoming index was dirty already, that doesn't really
feel worth it: after all, the mentioned commit says itself that the
performance improvement was negligible anyway.
