traverse_commit_list: support pending blobs/trees with paths

When we call traverse_commit_list, we may have trees and
blobs in the pending array. As we process these, we pass the
"name" field from the pending entry as the path of the
object within the tree (which then becomes the root path if
we recurse into subtrees).

When we set up the traversal in prepare_revision_walk,
though, the "name" field of any pending trees and blobs is
likely to be the ref at which we found the object. We would
not want to make this part of the path (e.g., doing so would
make "git rev-list --objects v2.6.11-tree" in linux.git show
paths like "v2.6.11-tree/Makefile", which is nonsensical).
Therefore prepare_revision_walk sets the name field of each
pending tree and blobs to the empty string.

However, this leaves no room for a caller who does know the
correct path of a pending object to propagate that
information to the revision walker. We can fix this by
making two related changes:

  1. Use the "path" field as the path instead of the "name"
     field in traverse_commit_list. If the path is not set,
     default to "" (which is what we always ended up with in
     the current code, because of prepare_revision_walk).

  2. In prepare_revision_walk, make a complete copy of the
     entry. This makes the path field available to the
     walker (if there is one), solving our problem.
     Leaving the name field intact is now OK, as we do not
     use it as a path due to point (1) above (and we can use
     it to make more meaningful error messages if we want).
     We also make the original "mode" field available to the
     walker, though it does not actually use it.

Note that we still re-add the pending objects and free the
old ones (so we may strdup the path and name only to free
the old ones). This could be made more efficient by simply
copying the object_array entries that we are keeping.
However, that would require more restructuring of the code,
and is not done here.
