This reverts 1495ff7da5 ("checkout: introduce checkout.overlayMode
config", 2019-01-08) and thus removes the checkout.overlayMode config
option.
The option was originally introduced to give users the option to make
the new no-overlay behaviour the default. However users may be using
'git checkout' in scripts, even though it is porcelain. Users setting
the option to false may actually end up accidentally breaking scripts.
With the introduction of a new subcommand that will make the behaviour
the default, the config option will not be needed anymore anyway.
Revert the commit and remove the config option, so we don't risk
breaking scripts.

In the previous patch we introduced a new no-overlay mode for git
checkout. Some users (such as the author of this commit) may want to
have this mode turned on by default as it matches their mental model
more closely. Make that possible by introducing a new config option
to that extend.

Currently 'git checkout' is defined as an overlay operation, which
means that if in 'git checkout <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' we have an
entry in the index that matches <pathspec>, but that doesn't exist in
<tree-ish>, that entry will not be removed from the index or the
working tree.
Introduce a new --{,no-}overlay option, which allows using 'git
checkout' in non-overlay mode, thus removing files from the working
tree if they do not exist in <tree-ish> but match <pathspec>.
Note that 'git checkout -p <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' already works
this way, so no changes are needed for the patch mode. We disallow
'git checkout --overlay -p' to avoid confusing users who would expect
to be able to force overlay mode in 'git checkout -p' this way.
Untracked files are not affected by this change, so 'git checkout
--no-overlay HEAD -- untracked' will not remove untracked from the
working tree. This is so e.g. 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- dir/'
doesn't delete all untracked files in dir/, but rather just resets the
state of files that are known to git.
