dir: convert to strbuf
The functions read_directory_recursive() and treat_leading_path() both
use buffers sized to fit PATH_MAX characters. The latter can be made to
overrun its buffer, e.g. like this:
$ a=0123456789abcdef
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ git add $a/a
Instead of trying to add a check and potentionally forgetting to address
similar cases, convert the involved functions and their helpers to use
struct strbuf. The patch is suprisingly large because the helpers
treat_path() and treat_one_path() modify the buffer as well and thus need
to be converted, too.
