read_cache: roll back lock in `update_index_if_able()`
`update_index_if_able()` used to always commit the lock or roll it back. Commit 03b866477 (read-cache: new API write_locked_index instead of write_index/write_cache, 2014-06-13) stopped rolling it back in case a write was not even attempted. This change in behavior is not motivated in the commit message and appears to be accidental: the `else`-path was removed, although that changed the behavior in case the `if` shortcuts. Reintroduce the rollback and document this behavior. While at it, move the documentation on this function from the function definition to the function declaration in cache.h. If `write_locked_index(..., COMMIT_LOCK)` fails, it will roll back the lock for us (see the previous commit).
