[PATCH v2 2/3] repo-settings: use index.version=4 by default

[Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget]

From: Derrick Stolee <dsto...@microsoft.com>

If a repo is large, it likely has many paths in its working directory.
This means the index could be compressed using version 4. Set this as
a default when core.featureAdoptionRate is at least three.
