The code for a newly added path assumed that the path was a normal file,
and thus checked for there being a directory still being in the way of
the file. Note that since unpack_trees() does path-in-the-way checks
already, the only way for there to be a directory in the way at this
point in the code, is if there is some kind of D/F conflict in the merge.
For a submodule addition on HEAD's side of history, the submodule would
have already been present. This means that we do expect there to be a
directory present but should not consider it to be "in the way"; instead,
it's the expected submodule. So, when there's a submodule addition from
HEAD's side, don't bother checking the working copy for a directory in
the way.

Test that the cherry-pick command updates the work tree as expected (for
submodule changes which don't result in conflicts).
Set KNOWN_FAILURE_NOFF_MERGE_ATTEMPTS_TO_MERGE_REMOVED_SUBMODULE_FILES
and KNOWN_FAILURE_NOFF_MERGE_DOESNT_CREATE_EMPTY_SUBMODULE_DIR to
document that cherry-pick has the same --no-ff known failures merge has.
Implement the KNOWN_FAILURE_CHERRY_PICK_SEES_EMPTY_COMMIT switch to expect
the known failure that while cherry picking just a SHA-1 update for an
ignored submodule the commit incorrectly fails with "The previous
cherry-pick is now empty, possibly due to conflict resolution.".
