Just so we don't forget about it, I wrote this fix up as a patch. And in
fact it led to a few other cleanups. I think the first one is definitely
worth doing now, even if there are other similar cases lurking in the
rest of the index code.

The other two are optional, though I think they are worth it (and not
too hard to verify that they are doing the right thing).

These are on top of js/untracked-cache-allocfix (though they could
easily be ported to a separate topic if we want).

  [1/3]: untracked-cache: be defensive about missing NULs in index
  [2/3]: untracked-cache: simplify parsing by dropping "next"
  [3/3]: untracked-cache: simplify parsing by dropping "len"
