[PATCHv2 8/8] tree-diff.c: Avoid recomputing interesting-ness for subtrees when possible

Weather balloon patch. Doesn't seem to help much in benchmarks, and after many runs I think it might occasionally hurt slightly. It ought to help in the case of a ginormous tree that is really deep with few entries per tree, but that case seems kind of contrived.

Kind of makes the code look icky too.

--- No signed-off-by, since I'm not sold on this patch and am somewhat leaning against it. It would need a better commit message anyway. :-)
