Mark places that need blob munging later for CRLF conversion.

Here's a patch that I think we can merge right now. There may be
other places that need this, but this at least points out the
three places that read/write working tree files for git
update-index, checkout and diff respectively. That should cover
a lot of it [jc: git-apply uses an entirely different codepath
both for reading and writing].

Some day we can actually implement it. In the meantime, this
points out a place for people to start. We *can* even start with
a really simple "we do CRLF conversion automatically, regardless
of filename" kind of approach, that just look at the data (all
three cases have the _full_ file data already in memory) and
says "ok, this is text, so let's convert to/from DOS format
directly".

THAT somebody can write in ten minutes, and it would already
make git much nicer on a DOS/Windows platform, I suspect.

And it would be totally zero-cost if you just make it a config
option (but please make it dynamic with the _default_ just being
0/1 depending on whether it's UNIX/Windows, just so that UNIX
people can _test_ it easily).
