[PATCH v2 0/3] add strnncmp() function

[Jeremiah Mahler <jmmahler@gmail.com>]

Add a strnncmp() function which behaves like strncmp() except it takes
the length of both strings instead of just one.

Then simplify tree-walk.c and unpack-trees.c using this new function.
Replace all occurrences of name_compare() with strnncmp().  Remove
name_compare(), which they both had identical copies of.

Version 2 includes suggestions from Jonathan Neider [1]:

  - Fix the logic which caused the new strnncmp() to behave differently
	from the old version.  Now it is identical to strncmp().

  - Improve description of strnncmp().

Also, strnncmp() was switched from using memcmp() to strncmp()
internally to make it clear that this is meant for strings, not
general buffers.
