path-walk: add prune_all_uninteresting option

This option causes the path-walk API to act like the sparse tree-walk
algorithm implemented by mark_trees_uninteresting_sparse() in
list-objects.c.

Starting from the commits marked as UNINTERESTING, their root trees and
all objects reachable from those trees are UNINTERSTING, at least as we
walk path-by-path. When we reach a path where all objects associated
with that path are marked UNINTERESTING, then do no continue walking the
children of that path.

We need to be careful to pass the UNINTERESTING flag in a deep way on
the UNINTERESTING objects before we start the path-walk, or else the
depth-first search for the path-walk API may accidentally report some
objects as interesting.

 While it is possible to walk only commits in this way, consumers would be
 better off using the revision walk API instead.
 
+`prune_all_uninteresting`::
+	By default, all reachable paths are emitted by the path-walk API.
+	This option allows consumers to declare that they are not
+	interested in paths where all included objects are marked with the
+	`UNINTERESTING` flag. This requires using the `boundary` option in
+	the revision walk so that the walk emits commits marked with the
+	`UNINTERESTING` flag.
