Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.
This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".
On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

An earlier commit fixed type-change case in "git add -u".
This adds a test to make sure we do not introduce regression.
At the same time, it fixes a stupid typo in the error message.

git-add -u also takes the path limiters, but unlike the
command without the -u option, the code forgot that it
could be invoked from a subdirectory, and did not correctly
handle the prefix.

This applies to 'maint' to fix a rather serious data corruption
issue. When "git add -u" affects a subdirectory in such a way
that the only changes to its contents are path removals, the
next tree object written out of that index was bogus, as the
remove codepath forgot to invalidate the cache-tree entry.

Rather than updating all working tree paths, we limit
ourselves to paths listed on the command line.
