untracked cache: fix entry invalidationdt/untracked-subdir

First, the current code in untracked_cache_invalidate_path() is wrong
because it can only handle paths "a" or "a/b", not "a/b/c" because
lookup_untracked() only looks for entries directly under the given
directory. In the last case, it will look for the entry "b/c" in
directory "a" instead. This means if you delete or add an entry in a
subdirectory, untracked cache may become out of date because it does not
invalidate properly. This is noticed by David Turner.

The second problem is about invalidation inside a fully untracked/excluded
directory. In this case we may have to invalidate back to root. See the
comment block for detail.

+/*
+ * Normally when an entry is added or removed from a directory,
+ * invalidating that directory is enough. No need to touch its
+ * ancestors. When a directory is shown as "foo/bar/" in git-status
+ * however, deleting or adding an entry may have cascading effect.
+ *
+ * Say the "foo/bar/file" has become untracked, we need to tell the
+ * untracked_cache_dir of "foo" that "bar/" is not an untracked
+ * directory any more (because "bar" is managed by foo as an untracked
+ * "file").
+ *
+ * Similarly, if "foo/bar/file" moves from untracked to tracked and it
+ * was the last untracked entry in the entire "foo", we should show
+ * "foo/" instead. Which means we have to invalidate past "bar" up to
+ * "foo".
+ *
+ * This function traverses all directories from root to leaf. If there
+ * is a chance of one of the above cases happening, we invalidate back
+ * to root. Otherwise we just invalidate the leaf. There may be a more
+ * sophisticated way than checking for SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES to
+ * detect these cases and avoid unnecessary invalidation, for example,
+ * checking for the untracked entry named "bar/" in "foo", but for now
+ * stick to something safe and simple.
