tree-walk: drop oid from traverse_info

As the previous commit shows, the presence of an oid in each level of
the traverse_info is confusing and ultimately not necessary. Let's drop
it to make it clear that it will not always be set (as well as convince
us that it's unused, and let the compiler catch any merges with other
branches that do add new uses).

Since the oid is part of name_entry, we'll actually stop embedding a
name_entry entirely, and instead just separately hold the pathname, its
length, and the mode.

This makes the resulting code slightly more verbose as we have to pass
those elements around individually. But it also makes it more clear what
each code path is going to use (and in most of the paths, we really only
care about the pathname itself).

A few of these conversions are noisier than they need to be, as they
also take the opportunity to rename "len" to "namelen" for clarity
(especially where we also have "pathlen" or "ce_len" alongside).
