ls: Rework and simplify logic

This commit introduces two functions: withinDir() and
approachingMatchingTree()

Both bind the list of directories with a closure, so we don't need to
iterate over the list in the function passed to Walk(). This reduces the
indentation level and since we can just use return, we don't need the
breaks any more.

The case that len(dirs) == 0 can also be handled by the functions with a
return, which saves another indentation level.

The main function body of the function passed to Walk() was reduced to
three cases:

 * Within one of the dirs: Print the node, and if recursive operation is
   requested, directly return, so the walker continues recursive
   traversal

 * Approaching one of the dirs: don't print anything, but continue
   recursive traversal.

 * Nothing of the two: abort walking this branch of the tree.
