Switch over tree descriptors to contain a pre-parsed entry

This makes the tree descriptor contain a "struct name_entry" as part of
it, and it gets filled in so that it always contains a valid entry. On
some benchmarks, it improves performance by up to 15%.

That makes tree entry "extract" trivial, and means that we only actually
need to decode each tree entry just once: we decode the first one when
we initialize the tree descriptor, and each subsequent one when doing
"update_tree_entry()".  In particular, this means that we don't need to
do strlen() both at extract time _and_ at update time.

Finally, it also allows more sharing of code (entry_extract(), that
wanted a "struct name_entry", just got totally trivial, along with the
"tree_entry()" function).
