Code was using two string_lists, one for the directories and one for the files. The code never checks the lists independently so we should be able to only use one list. The string_list also is a O(log n) for lookup and insertion. Switching this to use a hashmap will give O(1) which will save some time when there are millions of paths that will be checked.

Also cleaned up a memory leak and method where the return was not being used.

Changes since last version:
1. Removed the function pointers and just check the ignore_case in the
compare and hash methods.
2. Added a comment about the hashmap and why it is getting initialized
and freed but not a local.
3. Use hashmap_get_from_hash and remove the dummy entry

[PATCH v3 1/3] merge-recursive: fix memory leak

In merge_trees if process_renames or process_entry returns less than zero, the method will just return and not free re_merge, re_head, or entries.

This change cleans up the allocated variables before returning to the caller.

[PATCH v3 2/3] merge-recursive: remove return value from get_files_dirs

The return value of the get_files_dirs call is never being used. Looking at the history of the file and it was originally only being used for debug output statements. Also when read_tree_recursive return value is non zero it is changed to zero. This leads me to believe that it doesn't matter if read_tree_recursive gets an error.

Since the debug output has been removed and the caller isn't checking the return value there is no reason to keep calculating and returning a value.
