factor out refresh_and_write_cache function

Getting the lock for the index, refreshing it and then writing it is a
pattern that happens more than once throughout the codebase, and isn't
trivial to get right.  Factor out the refresh_and_write_cache function
from builtin/am.c to read-cache.c, so it can be re-used in other
places in a subsequent commit.

Note that we return different error codes for failing to refresh the
cache, and failing to write the index.  The current caller only cares
about failing to write the index.  However for other callers we're
going to convert in subsequent patches we will need this distinction.
