doc: remove "directory cache" from man pages
"directory cache" (or "directory cache index", "cache") are obsolete terms which have been superseded by "index". Keeping them in the documentation may be a source of confusion. This commit replaces them with the current term, "index", on man pages. Signed-off-by: Utku Gultopu <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
