vfs: make recursive readdir iterative

MemoryProvider recursive readdir walked the directory tree with a
recursive helper. Rewrite it to traverse iteratively with an explicit
stack so a deeply nested tree can no longer exhaust the call stack.

The set of directories on the active traversal path is still tracked, so
a circular symlink stops descending while its entry remains listed; the
output and observable behavior are unchanged.
