mv: refresh stat info for moved entry
Update the stat info of the moved index entry in 'rename_index_entry_at()' if the entry is up-to-date with the index. Internally, 'git mv' uses 'rename_index_entry_at()' to move the source index entry to the destination. However, it directly copies the stat info of the original cache entry, which will not reflect the 'ctime' of the file renaming operation that happened as part of the move. If a file is otherwise up-to-date with the index, that difference in 'ctime' will make the entry appear out-of-date until the next index-refreshing operation (e.g., 'git status'). Some commands, such as 'git reset', use the cached stat information to determine whether a file is up-to-date; if this information is incorrect, the command will fail when it should pass. In order to ensure a moved entry is evaluated as 'up-to-date' when appropriate, refresh the destination index entry's stat info in 'git mv' if and only if the file is up-to-date. Note that the test added in 't7001-mv.sh' requires a "sleep 1" to ensure the 'ctime' of the file creation will be definitively older than the 'ctime' of the renamed file in 'git mv'.
