Subject: update-index: there no longer is `apply --index-info`

Back when we removed `git apply --index-info` in 2007, we forgot to
adjust the documentation for update-index that reads its output.

Let's reorder the description of three formats to present the other
two formats that are still generated by git commands before this
format, and stop mentioning `git apply --index-info`.

+This format is no longer produced by any Git command, but is

 To place a higher stage entry to the index, the path should
 first be removed by feeding a mode=0 entry for the path, and
 then feeding necessary input lines in the third format.
