read-tree: use 'skip_cache_tree_update' option

When running 'read-tree' with a single tree and no prefix,
'prime_cache_tree()' is called after the tree is unpacked. In that
situation, skip a redundant call to 'cache_tree_update()' in
'unpack_trees()' by enabling the 'skip_cache_tree_update' unpack option.

Removing the redundant cache tree update provides a substantial performance
improvement to 'git read-tree <tree-ish>', as shown by a test added to
'p0006-read-tree-checkout.sh':

Test                          before            after
----------------------------------------------------------------------
read-tree br_ballast_plus_1   3.94(1.80+1.57)   3.00(1.14+1.28) -23.9%

Note that the 'read-tree' in 't1022-read-tree-partial-clone.sh' is updated
to read two trees, rather than one. The test was first introduced in
d3da223f22 (cache-tree: prefetch in partial clone read-tree, 2021-07-23) to
exercise the 'cache_tree_update()' code path, as used in 'git merge'. Since
this patch drops the call to 'cache_tree_update()' in single-tree 'git
read-tree', change the test to use the two-tree variant so that
'cache_tree_update()' is called as intended.
