This continues 4651ece8 (Switch over tree descriptors to contain a
pre-parsed entry) and moves the only rest computational part

mode = canon_mode(mode)

from tree_entry_extract() to tree entry decode phase - to
decode_tree_entry().

The reason to do it, is that canon_mode() is at least 2 conditional
jumps for regular files, and that could be noticeable should canon_mode()
be invoked several times.

That does not matter for current Git codebase, where typical tree
traversal is

while (t->size) {
sha1 = tree_entry_extract(t, &path, &mode);
...
update_tree_entry(t);
}

i.e. we do t -> sha1,path.mode "extraction" only once per entry. In such
cases, it does not matter performance-wise, where that mode
canonicalization is done - either once in tree_entry_extract(), or once
in decode_tree_entry() called by update_tree_entry() - it is
approximately the same.

But for future code, which could need to work with several tree_desc's
in parallel, it could be handy to operate on tree_desc descriptors, and
do "extracts" only when needed, or at all, access only relevant part of
it through structure fields directly.

And for such situations, having canon_mode() be done once in decode
phase is better - we won't need to pay the performance price of 2 extra
conditional jumps on every t->mode access.

So let's move mode canonicalization to decode_tree_entry(). That was the
final bit. Now after tree entry is decoded, it is fully ready and could
be accessed either directly via field, or through tree_entry_extract()
which this time got really "totally trivial".
