lstat_cache(): introduce has_symlink_or_noent_leading_path() function

In some cases, especially inside the unpack-trees.c file, and inside
the verify_absent() function, we can avoid some unnecessary calls to
lstat(), if the lstat_cache() function can also be told to keep track
of non-existing directories.

So we update the lstat_cache() function to handle this new fact,
introduce a new wrapper function, and the result is that we save lots
of lstat() calls for a removed directory which previously contained
lots of files, when we call this new wrapper of lstat_cache() instead
of the old one.

We do similar changes inside the unlink_entry() function, since if we
can already say that the leading directory component of a pathname
does not exist, it is not necessary to try to remove a pathname below
it!

Thanks to Junio C Hamano, Linus Torvalds and Rene Scharfe for valuable
comments to this patch!
