Improved tree iterator internals
This updates the tree iterator internals to be more efficient. The tree_iterator_entry objects are now kept as pointers that are allocated from a git_pool, so that we may use git__tsort_r for sorting (which is better than qsort, given that the tree is likely mostly ordered already). Those tree_iterator_entry objects now keep direct pointers to the data they refer to instead of keeping indirect index values. This simplifies a lot of the data structure traversal code. This also adds bsearch to find the start item position for range- limited tree iterators, and is more explicit about using git_path_cmp instead of reimplementing it. The git_path_cmp changed a bit to make it easier for tree_iterators to use it (but it was barely being used previously, so not a big deal). This adds a git_pool_free_array function that efficiently frees a list of pool allocated pointers (which the tree_iterator keeps). Also, added new tests for the git_pool free list functionality that was not previously being tested (or used).
