bloom: de-duplicate directory entries

When computing a changed-path Bloom filter, we need to take the
files that changed from the diff computation and extract the parent
directories. That way, a directory pathspec such as "Documentation"
could match commits that change "Documentation/git.txt".

However, the current code does a poor job of this process. The paths
are added to a hashmap, but we do not check if an entry already
exists with that path. This can create many duplicate entries and
cause the filter to have a much larger length than it should. This
means that the filter is more sparse than intended, which helps the
false positive rate, but wastes a lot of space.

Properly use hashmap_get() before hashmap_add(). Also be sure to
include a comparison function so these can be matched correctly.

This has an effect on a test in t0095-bloom.sh. This makes sense,
there are ten changes inside "smallDir" so the total number of
paths in the filter should be 11. This would result in 11 * 10 bits
required, and with 8 bits per byte, this results in 14 bytes.
