cache-tree: simplify verify_cache() prototype

The verify_cache() method takes an array of cache entries and a count,
but these are always provided directly from a struct index_state. Use
a pointer to the full structure instead.

There is a subtle point when istate->cache_nr is zero that subtracting
one will underflow. This triggers a failure in t0000-basic.sh, among
others. Use "i + 1 < istate->cache_nr" to avoid these strange
comparisons. Convert i to be unsigned as well, which also removes the
potential signed overflow in the unlikely case that cache_nr is over 2.1
billion entries. The 'funny' variable has a maximum value of 11, so
making it unsigned does not change anything of importance.
