Fix thinko in subproject entry sorting
This fixes a total thinko in my original series: subprojects do *not* sort like directories, because the index is sorted purely by full pathname, and since a subproject shows up in the index as a normal NUL-terminated string, it never has the issues with sorting with the '/' at the end. So if you have a subproject "proj" and a file "proj.c", the subproject sorts alphabetically before the file in the index (and must thus also sort that way in a tree object, since trees sort as the index). In contrast, it you have two files "proj/file" and "proj.c", the "proj.c" will sort alphabetically before "proj/file" in the index. The index itself, of course, does not actually contain an entry "proj/", but in the *tree* that gets written out, the tree entry "proj" will sort after the file entry "proj.c", which is the only real magic sorting rule. In other words: the magic sorting rule only affects tree entries, and *only* affects tree entries that point to other trees (ie are of the type S_IFDIR). Anyway, that thinko just means that we should remove the special case to make S_ISDIRLNK entries sort like S_ISDIR entries. They don't. They sort like normal files.
