Add the ability to prefix something to the pathname to "checkout-cache.c"
This basically makes it trivial to use checkout-cache as a "export as
tree" function. Just read the desired tree into the index, and do a
checkout-cache --prefix=export-dir/ -a
and checkout-cache will "export" the cache into the specified directory.
NOTE! The final "/" is important. The exported name is literally just
prefixed with the specified string, so you can also do something like
checkout-cache --prefix=.merged- Makefile
to check out the currently cached copy of "Makefile" into the file
".merged-Makefile".
