via teaching tree_entry_pathcmp() how to compare empty tree descriptors:

While walking trees, we iterate their entries from lowest to highest in sort order, so empty tree means all entries were already went over.

If we artificially assign +infinity value to such tree "entry", it will go after all usual entries, and through the usual driver loop we will be taking the same actions, which were hand-coded for special cases, i.e.

    t1 empty, t2 non-empty
        pathcmp(+∞, t2) -> +1
        show_path(/*t1=*/NULL, t2);     /* = t1 > t2 case in main loop */
    t1 non-empty, t2-empty
        pathcmp(t1, +∞) -> -1
        show_path(t1, /*t2=*/NULL);     /* = t1 < t2 case in main loop */

Right now we never go to when compared tree descriptors are infinity, as this condition is checked in the loop beginning as finishing criteria, but will do in the future, when there will be several parents iterated simultaneously, and some pair of them would run to the end.
