dir: introduce readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper

Many places in the code were doing
    while ((d = readdir(dir)) != NULL) {
        if (is_dot_or_dotdot(d->d_name))
            continue;
        ...process d...
    }
Introduce a readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper to make that a one-liner:
    while ((d = readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot(dir)) != NULL) {
        ...process d...
    }

This helper particularly simplifies checks for empty directories.

Also use this helper in read_cached_dir() so that our statistics are
consistent across platforms.  (In other words, read_cached_dir() should
have been using is_dot_or_dotdot() and skipping such entries, but did
not and left it to treat_path() to detect and mark such entries as
path_none.)
