[PATCH v8 4/5] dir_iterator: refactor state machine model

In-Reply-To
<1491442767-54068-1-git-send-email-bnmvco@gmail.com>

Perform major refactor of dir_iterator_advance(). dir_iterator has ceased to rely on a convoluted state machine mechanism of two loops and two state variables (level.initialized and level.dir_state). This serves to ease comprehension of the iterator mechanism and ease addition of new features to the iterator.

Create an option for the dir_iterator API to iterate over subdirectories only after having iterated through their contents. This feature was predicted, although not implemented by 0fe5043 ("dir_iterator: new API for iterating over a directory tree", 2016-06-18). This is useful for recursively removing a directory and calling rmdir() on a directory only after all of its contents have been wiped.

Add an option for the dir_iterator API to iterate over the root directory (the one it was initialized with) as well.

Add the "flags" parameter to dir_iterator_create, allowing for the aforementioned new features to be enabled. The new default behavior (i.e. flags set to 0) does not iterate over directories. Flag DIR_ITERATOR_PRE_ORDER_TRAVERSAL iterates over a directory before doing so over its contents. DIR_ITERATOR_POST_ORDER_TRAVERSAL iterates over a directory after doing so over its contents. DIR_ITERATOR_LIST_ROOT_DIR iterates over the root directory. These flags do not conflict with each other and may be used simultaneously.

Amend a call to dir_iterator_begin() in refs/files-backend.c to pass the flags parameter introduced.

Improve t/t0065-dir-iterator.sh and t/helper/test-dir-iterator.c to test "post-order" and "iterate-over-root" modes.
