[PATCH v3 2/9] cache-tree: simplify verify_cache() prototype

<1b8b56800948339c0e0387555698bdfdc80a19ad.1611431900.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.839.v3.git.1611431899.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

The verify_cache() method takes an array of cache entries and a count, but these are always provided directly from a struct index_state. Use a pointer to the full structure instead.

There is a subtle point when istate->cache_nr is zero that subtracting one will underflow. This triggers a failure in t0000-basic.sh, among others. Use "i + 1 < istate->cache_nr" to avoid these strange comparisons. Convert i to be unsigned as well, which also removes the potential signed overflow in the unlikely case that cache_nr is over 2.1 billion entries. The 'funny' variable has a maximum value of 11, so making it unsigned does not change anything of importance.
