entry: report more colliding paths
In b878579ae7 (clone: report duplicate entries on case-insensitive filesystems, 2018-08-17) code was added to warn about index entries that resolve to the same file system entity (usually the cause is a case-insensitive filesystem). In Git for Windows, where inodes are not trusted (because of a performance trade-off, inodes are equal to 0 by default), that check does not compare inode numbers but the verbatim path. This logic works well when index entries' paths differ only in case. However, for file/directory conflicts only the file's path was reported, leaving the user puzzled with what that path collides. Let's try ot catch colliding paths even if one path is the prefix of the other. We do this also in setups where the file system is case-sensitive because the inode check would not be able to catch those collisions. While not a complete solution (for example, on macOS, Unicode normalization could also lead to file/directory conflicts but be missed by this logic), it is at least another defensive layer on top of what the previous commits added.
