split-index: add and use unshare_split_index()

Browse Source 
When split-index is being used, we have two cache_entry arrays in
index_state->cache[] and index_state->split_index->base->cache[].

index_state->cache[] may share the same entries with base->cache[] so
we can quickly determine what entries are shared. This makes memory
management tricky, we can't free base->cache[] until we know
index_state->cache[] does not point to any of those entries.

unshare_split_index() is added for this purpose, to find shared
entries and either duplicate them in index_state->cache[], or discard
them. Either way it should be safe to free base->cache[] after
unshare_split_index().
