[PATCH v2] [GSoC] remove_subtree(): reimplement using iterators

Use dir_iterator to traverse through remove_subtree()'s directory tree, avoiding the need for recursive calls to readdir(). Simplify remove_subtree()'s code.

A conversion similar in purpose was previously done at 46d092a ("for_each_reflog(): reimplement using iterators", 2016-05-21).

This is a second-version patch of the Google Summer of Code microproject for refactoring recursive readdir() calls to use dir_iterator instead. v1 can be found in:

https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGZ79kZwT-9mHTiOJ5CEjk2wDFkn6+NcogjX0=vjhsAh16ANYg@mail.gmail.com/T/#mae023e7a7d7626f00e0923833c4359f5af493730

Additionally, for debugging purposes I turned remove_subtree() into a no-op and ran git tests. Some failures were at:

* t2000-checkout-cache-clash.sh
* t2003-checkout-cache-mkdir.sh

If you guys could check those files out and warn me if any additional tests would be welcome, please let me know.

Thanks.
