This function was added in f103f95b11 in
the erroneous expectation that it would be used in the
reimplementation of longest_ancestor_length(). But it turned out to
be easier to use a function specialized for comparing path prefixes
(i.e., one that knows about slashes and root paths) than to prepare
the paths in such a way that a generic string prefix comparison
function can be used. So delete string_list_longest_prefix() and its
documentation and test cases.

This function allows entries that don't match a specified criterion to
be discarded from a string_list while preserving the order of the
remaining entries.

Add two new functions, string_list_split() and
string_list_split_in_place(). These split a string into a string_list
on a separator character. The first makes copies of the substrings
(leaving the input string untouched) and the second splits the
original string in place, overwriting the separator characters with
NULs and referring to the original string's memory.
These functions are similar to the strbuf_split_*() functions except
that they work with the more powerful string_list interface.
