dir_iterator: new API for iterating over a directory tree

The iterator interface is modeled on that for references, though no
vtable is necessary because there is (so far?) only one type of
dir_iterator.

There are obviously a lot of features that could easily be added to this
class:

* Skip/include directory paths in the iteration
* Shallow/deep iteration
* Letting the caller decide which subdirectories to recurse into (e.g.,
  via a dir_iterator_advance_into() function)
* Option to iterate in sorted order
* Option to iterate over directory paths before vs. after their contents

But these are not needed for the current patch series, so I refrain.
