oneway_diff: handle removed sparse directories

Update 'do_oneway_diff()' to perform a 'diff_tree_oid()' on removed sparse directories, as it does for added or modified sparse directories (see 9eb00af562 (diff-lib: handle index diffs with sparse dirs, 2021-07-14)). At the moment, this update is unreachable code because 'unpack_trees()' (currently the only way 'oneway_diff()' can be called, via 'diff_cache()') will always traverse trees down to the individual removed files of a deleted sparse directory. A subsequent patch will change this to better preserve a sparse index in other uses of 'unpack_tree()', e.g. 'git reset --hard'. However, making that change without this patch would result in (among other issues) 'git status' printing only the name of a deleted sparse directory, not its contents. To avoid introducing that bug, 'do_oneway_diff()' is updated before modifying 'unpack_trees()'. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
