Nick Craig-Wood 5173ca0454 march: fix syncing with a duplicate file and directory
As part of the out of memory syncing code, in this commit

0148bd4668 march: Implement callback based syncing

we changed the syncing method to use a sorted stream of directory
entries.

Unfortunately as part of this change the sort order of files and
directories became undefined.

This meant that if there existed both a file `foo` and a directory
`foo` in the same directory (as is common on object storage systems)
then these could be matched up incorrectly.

They could be matched up correctly like this

- `foo` (directory) - `foo` (directory)
- `foo` (file)      - `foo` (file)

Or incorrectly like this (one of many possibilities)

- no match          - `foo` (file)
- `foo` (directory) - `foo` (directory)
- `foo` (file)      - no match

Just depending on how the input listings were ordered.

This in turn made container based syncing with a duplicated file and
directory name erratic, deleting files when it shouldn't.

This patch ensures that directories always sync before files by adding
a suffix to the sort key depending on whether the entry was a file or
directory.
