[PATCH v2] builtin/add.c: replace run_command() with direct apply_all_patches() call

When the user runs "git add -e", the diff of the working tree changes
is written to a temporary file, opened in an editor, and then applied
back to the index. The application step is done by spawning a child
process running "git apply --recount --cached <file>", which is an
unnecessary subprocess since the apply machinery is available as a
native C API.

Replace the run_command() call with a direct call to apply_all_patches()
using an initialized apply_state with the cached and recount options set
appropriately. This avoids the overhead of forking a subprocess, keeps
the operation within the same process, and makes the intent of the code
clearer to the reader.

Remove the now-unused includes of "run-command.h" and "strvec.h" since
no other code in this file requires them after this change.

Changes in v2:
- Fixed commit message: "was done" -> "is done" (present tense)
- Added check_apply_state() call after setting state.cached = 1,
  which sets state.check_index = 1 required for index updates

In response to review:

- check_apply_state() with cached=1 correctly
  sets check_index=1, ensuring apply_all_patches() updates the index
  as intended. Verified by reading apply.c lines 172-175.

- Tested with t3700-add.sh: all 58 tests pass
