score_trees(): fix iteration over trees with missing entries

In score_trees(), we walk over two sorted trees to find
which entries are missing or have different content between
the two.  So if we have two trees with these entries:

  one   two
  ---   ---
  a     a
  b     c
  c     d

we'd expect the loop to:

  - compare "a" to "a"

  - compare "b" to "c"; because these are sorted lists, we
    know that the second tree does not have "b"

  - compare "c" to "c"

  - compare "d" to end-of-list; we know that the first tree
    does not have "d"

And prior to d8febde370 (match-trees: simplify score_trees()
using tree_entry(), 2013-03-24) that worked. But after that
commit, we mistakenly increment the tree pointers for every
loop iteration, even when we've processed the entry for only
one side. As a result, we end up doing this:

  - compare "a" to "a"

  - compare "b" to "c"; we know that we do not have "b", but
    we still increment both tree pointers; at this point
    we're out of sync and all further comparisons are wrong

  - compare "c" to "d" and mistakenly claim that the second
    tree does not have "c"

  - exit the loop, mistakenly not realizing that the first
    tree does not have "d"

So contrary to the claim in d8febde370, we really do need to
manually use update_tree_entry(), because advancing the tree
pointer depends on the entry comparison.

That means we must stop using tree_entry() to access each
entry, since it auto-advances the pointer. Instead:

  - we'll use tree_desc.size directly to know if there's
    anything left to look at (which is what tree_entry() was
    doing under the hood)

  - rather than do an extra struct assignment to "e1" and
    "e2", we can just access the "entry" field of tree_desc
    directly

That makes us a little more intimate with the tree_desc
code, but that's not uncommon for its callers.

The included test shows off the bug by adding a new entry
"bar.t", which sorts early in the tree and de-syncs the
comparison for "foo.t", which comes after.
