[PATCH v2 2/8] entry: factor out unlink_entry function

[Thomas Gummerer <t.gummerer@gmail.com>]

Factor out the 'unlink_entry()' function from unpack-trees.c to
entry.c.  It will be used in other places as well in subsequent
steps.

As it's no longer a static function, also move the documentation to
the header file to make it more discoverable.
