sequencer: always discard index after checkout

As the checkout runs in a separate process our index will be out of date
so it should be discarded. The existing callers are not doing this
consistently so do it here to avoid the callers having to worry about
it.

This fixes some test failures that happen if do_interactive_rebase() is
called without forking rebase--interactive which we will implement
shortly. Running

  git rebase -i master topic

starting on master created empty todo lists because all the commits in
topic were marked as cherry-picks. After topic was checked out in
prepare_branch_to_be_rebased() the working tree contained the contents
from topic but the index contained master and the cache entries were
still valid. This meant that diff_populate_filespec() which loads the
blobs when calculating patch-id's ended up reading the contents for
master from the working tree which actually contained topic.
