unpack-trees: fix sparse directory recursion check

Ensure 'is_sparse_directory_entry()' receives a valid 'name_entry *' if one
exists in the list of tree(s) being unpacked in 'unpack_callback()'.

Currently, 'is_sparse_directory_entry()' is called with the first
'name_entry' in the 'names' list of entries on 'unpack_callback()'. However,
this entry may be empty even when other elements of 'names' are not (such as
when switching from an orphan branch back to a "normal" branch). As a
result, 'is_sparse_directory_entry()' could incorrectly indicate that a
sparse directory is *not* actually sparse because the name of the index
entry does not match the (empty) 'name_entry' path.

Fix the issue by using the existing 'name_entry *p' value in
'unpack_callback()', which points to the first non-empty entry in 'names'.
Because 'p' is 'const', also update 'is_sparse_directory_entry()'s
'name_entry *' argument to be 'const'.

Finally, add a regression test case.
