entry.c: fix possible buffer overflow in remove_subtree()

remove_subtree() manipulated path in a fixed-size buffer even though
the length of the input, let alone the length of entries within the
directory, were not known in advance.  Change the function to take a
strbuf argument and use that object as its scratch space.
