[PATCH] entry.c: use dir-iterator to avoid explicit dir traversal

From

Message-ID
<20191208180439.19018-1-otalpster@gmail.com>
From: Plato <otalpster@gmail.com>

Replace usage of opendir/readdir/closedir API to traverse directories recursively, at remove_subtree() function, by the dir-iterator API. This simplifies the code and avoids recursive calls to remove_subtree().

Hello,

This is my first patch. I hope I cc'd the correct people and didn't mess up.

The changes pass the test suite t/ and Travis CI. Please point out any mistakes.

Thanks for your time! :)
