dir: fix directory-matching bug

This reverts the change from ed49584 (dir: fix pattern matching on dirs, 2021-09-24), which claimed to fix a directory-matching problem without a test case. It turns out to _create_ a bug, but it is a bit subtle. The bug would have been revealed by the first of two tests being added to t0008-ignores.sh. The first uses a pattern "/git/" inside the a/.gitignores file, which matches against 'a/git/foo' but not 'a/git-foo/bar'. This test would fail before the revert. The second test shows what happens if the test instead uses a pattern "git/" and this test passes both before and after the revert. The difference in these two cases are due to how last_matching_pattern_from_list() checks patterns both if they have the PATTERN_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR and PATTERN_FLAG_NODIR flags. In the case of "git/", the PATTERN_FLAG_NODIR is also provided, making the change in behavior in match_pathname() not affect the end result of last_matching_pattern_from_list().
