When process_sf_dir2() is trying to salvage entries in a corrupted
short form directory, it may attempt to shorten the last entry in
the dir if it extends beyond the directory size.

However, if the name already starts past the dir size, no amount
of name-shortening will make it fit, but the code doesn't realize
this.  The namelen variable comes out to be negative, and things
go downhill from there, resulting in a segfault when we try to
memmove a negative number of bytes.

If no amount of name-shortening can make the last dir entry fit
in the dir size, simply junk the entry.

This adds a bit more spaghetti to an existing pot, but I think
it clearly fixes the problem; I might try to rework these cases
to coalesce some of the code.

(I also wonder about the tradeoff between shortening entries and
increasing the dir size, but for now I'm just following the
direction the repair code already takes).
