When reporting a problem, `git fsck` emits a message such as:
missing blob 1234abcd (:file)
However, this can be ambiguous when the problem is detected in the index
of a worktree other than the one in which `git fsck` was invoked. To
address this shortcoming, 592ec63b38 (fsck: mention file path for index
errors, 2023-02-24) enhanced the output to mention the path of the index
when the problem is detected in some other worktree:
missing blob 1234abcd (.git/worktrees/wt/index:file)
Unfortunately, the variable in fsck_index() which controls whether the
index path should be shown is misleadingly named "is_main_index" which
can be misunderstood as referring to the main worktree (i.e. the one
housing the .git/ repository) rather than to the current worktree (i.e.
the one in which `git fsck` was invoked). Avoid such potential confusion
by choosing a name more reflective of its actual purpose.

In fb64ca526a (fsck: check index files in all worktrees, 2023-02-24), we
swapped out a call to vanilla repo_read_index() for a series of
read_index_from() calls, one per worktree. The code for the latter was
copied from add_index_objects_to_pending(), which checks for a positive
return value from the index reading function, and we do the same here in
fsck now.
But this is probably the wrong thing. I had interpreted the check as
"don't operate on the index struct if there was an error". But in
reality, if there is an error then the index-reading code will simply
die (which admittedly is not great for fsck, but that is not a new
problem).
The return value here is actually the number of entries read. So it
makes sense for add_index_objects_to_pending() to ignore a zero-entry
index (there is nothing to add). But for fsck, we would still want to
check any extensions, etc (though presumably it is unlikely to have them
in an empty index, I don't think it's impossible).
So we should ignore the return value from read_index_from() entirely.
This matches the behavior before fb64ca526a, when we ignored the return
value from repo_read_index().

If we encounter an error in an index file, we may say something like:
error: 1234abcd: invalid sha1 pointer in resolve-undo
But if you have multiple worktrees, each with its own index, it can be
very helpful to know which file had the problem. So let's pass that path
down through the various index-fsck functions and use it where
appropriate. After this patch you should get something like:
error: 1234abcd: invalid sha1 pointer in resolve-undo of .git/worktrees/wt/index
That's a bit verbose, but since the point is that you shouldn't see this
normally, we're better to err on the side of more details.
I've also added the index filename to the name used by "fsck
--name-objects", which will show up if we find the object to be missing,
etc. This is bending the rules a little there, as the option claims to
write names that can be fed to rev-parse. But there is no revision
syntax to access the index of another worktree, so the best we can do is
make up something that a human will probably understand.
I did take care to retain the existing ":file" syntax for the current
worktree. So the uglier output should kick in only when it's actually
necessary. See the included tests for examples of both forms.

We check the index file for the main worktree, but completely ignore the
index files in other worktrees. These should be checked, too, as they
are part of the repository state (and in particular, errors in those
index files may cause repo-wide operations like "git gc" to complain).

The code to fsck an index operates directly on the_index. Let's move it
into its own function in preparation for handling the index files from
other worktrees.
Since we now have only a single reference to the_index, let's drop
our USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE definition and just use the_repository.index
directly. That's a minor cleanup, but also ensures that we didn't miss
any references when moving the code into fsck_index().
