[PATCH v8 5/5] 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).
