checkout: use cache when possible to determine if workdir item is dirty
If the on-disk file has been staged (it's stat data matches the stat data in the cache) then we need not hash the file to determine whether it differs from the checkout target; instead we can simply use the oid in the index. This prevents recomputing a file's hash unnecessarily, prevents loading the file (when filtering) and prevents edge cases where filters suggest that a file is dirty immediately after git writes the file.
