update-index: do not die too early in a read-only repository.

This delays the error exit from hold_lock_file_for_update() in
update-index, so that "update-index --refresh" in a read-only
repository can still report what paths are stat-dirty before
exiting.

Also it makes -q to squelch the error message.
