clean: avoid removing untracked files in a nested git repository

Users expect files in a nested git repository to be left alone unless sufficiently forced (with two -f's). Unfortunately, in certain circumstances, git would delete both tracked (and possibly dirty) files and untracked files within a nested repository. To explain how this happens, let's contrast a couple cases. First, take the following example setup (which assumes we are already within a git repo): git init nested cd nested >tracked git add tracked git commit -m init >untracked cd .. In this setup, everything works as expected; running 'git clean -fd' will result in fill_directory() returning the following paths: nested/ nested/tracked nested/untracked and then correct_untracked_entries() would notice this can be compressed to nested/ and then since "nested/" is a directory, we would call remove_dirs("nested/", ...), which would check is_nonbare_repository_dir() and then decide to skip it. However, if someone also creates an ignored file: >nested/ignored then running 'git clean -fd' would result in fill_directory() returning the same paths: nested/ nested/tracked nested/untracked but correct_untracked_entries() will notice that we had ignored entries under nested/ and thus simplify this list to nested/tracked nested/untracked Since these are not directories, we do not call remove_dirs() which was the only place that had the is_nonbare_repository_dir() safety check -- resulting in us deleting both the untracked file and the tracked (and possibly dirty) file. One possible fix for this issue would be walking the parent directories of each path and checking if they represent nonbare repositories, but that would be wasteful. Even if we added caching of some sort, it's still a waste because we should have been able to check that "nested/" represented a nonbare repository before even descending into it in the first place. Add a DIR_SKIP_NESTED_GIT flag to dir_struct.flags and use it to prevent fill_directory() and friends from descending into nested git repos. With this change, we also modify two regression tests added in commit 91479b9c72f1 ("t7300: add tests to document behavior of clean and nested git", 2015-06-15). That commit, nor its series, nor the six previous iterations of that series on the mailing list discussed why those tests coded the expectation they did. In fact, it appears their purpose was simply to test _existing_ behavior to make sure that the performance changes didn't change the behavior. However, these two tests directly contradicted the manpage's claims that two -f's were required to delete files/directories under a nested git repository. While one could argue that the user gave an explicit path which matched files/directories that were within a nested repository, there's a slippery slope that becomes very difficult for users to understand once you go down that route (e.g. what if they specified "git clean -f -d '*.c'"?) It would also be hard to explain what the exact behavior was; avoid such problems by making it really simple. Also, clean up some grammar errors describing this functionality in the git-clean manpage. Finally, there are still a couple bugs with -ffd not cleaning out enough (e.g. missing the nested .git) and with -ffdX possibly cleaning out the wrong files (paying attention to outer .gitignore instead of inner). This patch does not address these cases at all (and does not change the behavior relative to those flags), it only fixes the handling when given a single -f.
