* Searches for an entry defined by name and namelen in the given index.
* If the return value is positive (including 0) it is the position of an
* exact match. If the return value is negative, the negated value minus 1
* is the position where the entry would be inserted.
* Example: The current index consists of these files and its stages:
*
* b#0, d#0, f#1, f#3
*
* index_name_pos(&index, "a", 1) -> -1
* index_name_pos(&index, "b", 1) -> 0
