read-cache: speed up has_dir_name (part 2)

Teach has_dir_name() to see if the path of the new item
is greater than the last path in the index array before
attempting to search for it.

has_dir_name() is looking for file/directory collisions
in the index and has to consider each sub-directory
prefix in turn.  This can cause multiple binary searches
for each path.

During operations like checkout, merge_working_tree()
populates the new index in sorted order, so we expect
to be able to append in many cases.

This commit is part 2 of 2.  This commit handles the
additional possible short-cuts as we look at each
sub-directory prefix.

The net-net gains for add_index_entry_with_check() and
both had_dir_name() commits are best seen for very
large repos.

Here are results for an INFLATED version of linux.git
with 1M files.

Results for medium repos (like linux.git) are mixed and have
more variance (probably do to disk IO unrelated to this test.
