cache-tree: introduce write_index_as_tree()

A caller may wish to write a temporary index as a tree. However,
write_cache_as_tree() assumes that the index was read from, and will
write to, the default index file path. Introduce write_index_as_tree()
which removes this limitation by allowing the caller to specify its own
index_state and index file path.
