dir.c: refactor is_excluded_from_list()

The excluded function uses a new helper function called
last_exclude_matching_from_list() to perform the inner loop over all of
the exclude patterns.  The helper just tells us whether the path is
included, excluded, or undecided.

However, it may be useful to know _which_ pattern was triggered.  So
let's pass out the entire exclude match, which contains the status
information we were already passing out.

Further patches can make use of this.

This is a modified forward port of a patch from 2009 by Jeff King:
