While `git update-index` mostly ignores paths referring to index entries
whose skip-worktree bit is set, in b4d1690df1 (Teach Git to respect
skip-worktree bit (reading part), 2009-08-20), for reasons that are not
entirely obvious, the `--remove` option was made special: it _does_
remove index entries even if their skip-worktree bit is set.
Seeing as this behavior has been in place for a decade now, it does not
make sense to change it.
However, in preparation for fixing a bug in `git stash` where it
pretends that skip-worktree entries have actually been removed, we need
a mode where `git update-index` leaves all skip-worktree entries alone,
even if the `--remove` option was passed.

Similar to $EMPTY_TREE this makes it easier to recognize this special
SHA-1 and change hash later.

There is no need to duplicate the definition of $_z40 and $_x40 that
test-lib.sh supplies the test scripts.

Currently, there are 6 tests which are not even written but are
'test_expect_failure message false'.
Do not abuse test_expect_failure as a to do marker, but mark them as
'#TODO' instead.

This part is mainly to remove CE_VALID shortcuts (and as a
consequence, ce_uptodate() shortcuts as it may be turned on by
CE_VALID) in writing code path if skip-worktree is used. Various tests
are added to avoid future breakages.
