[PATCH 2/2] use MOVE_ARRAY

Simplify the code for moving members inside of an array and make it more robust by using the helper macro MOVE_ARRAY. It calculates the size based on the specified number of elements for us and supports NULL pointers when that number is zero. Raw memmove(3) calls with NULL can cause the compiler to (over-eagerly) optimize out later NULL checks.

This patch was generated with contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci and spatch (Coccinelle).

Downside: The one in builtin/ls-files.c papers over a report by UBSan
for the case of istate->cache being NULL.  Technically we still try to
add pos to NULL if pruning an empty index, but we won't see it anymore.
Will send a separate patch.
