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"directory cache" (or "directory cache index", "cache") are obsolete terms which have been superseded by "index".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 <ugultopu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
