cache API: add a "INDEX_STATE_INIT" macro/function, add release_index()

Hopefully in some not so distant future, we'll get advantages from always
initializing the "repo" member of the "struct index_state". To make
that easier let's introduce an initialization macro & function.

The various ad-hoc initialization of the structure can then be changed
over to it, and we can remove the various "0" assignments in
discard_index() in favor of calling index_state_init() at the end.

While not strictly necessary, let's also change the CALLOC_ARRAY() of
various "struct index_state *" to use an ALLOC_ARRAY() followed by
index_state_init() instead.

We're then adding the release_index() function and converting some
callers (including some of these allocations) over to it if they
either won't need to use their "struct index_state" again, or are just
about to call index_state_init().
