pathspec: add match_leading_pathspec variant

The do_match_pathspec() function has the DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC option to allow pathspecs to match when matching "src" against a pathspec like "src/path/...". This support is not exposed by match_pathspec, and the internal flags to do_match_pathspec are not exposed outside of dir.c The upcoming support for pathspecs in git diff --no-index need the LEADING matching behavior when iterating down through a directory with readdir. We could try to expose the match_pathspec_with_flags to the public API. However, DO_MATCH_EXCLUDES really shouldn't be public, and its a bit weird to only have a few of the flags become public. Instead, add match_leading_pathspec() as a function which sets both DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY and DO_MATCH_LEADING_PATHSPEC when is_dir is true. This will be used in a following change to support pathspec matching in git diff --no-index. Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
