In CVS, the -f option keeps directory entries out of scm.sh ls-file's
listing; in Git, it's a silent no-op. Notably symlinks are not excluded
despite -f.
Implement -f for git with a mode filter on git ls-files -s output: only
100644 and 100755 entries are listed, so the option means the same thing in
both code paths.
For Git, this actually means a behaviour change which needs to be fixed:
The dist archive targets tar-files and cpio-files in make/list-files.mk and
the scm_files() helper in scripts/pkg.sh then may no longer pass it to get
unchanged behaviour.
The targets list-files and list-text-files keep it, so the text-files cache
now matches its documented regular-files-only membership.
