Look a refreshed resource up once instead of three times

Refreshing walked the element tree from its root three times per directory
entry: once to decide membership, once to ask whether the member is a
link, and once in the visitor. Container now hands out the infos it
collected anyway, and the visitor reads one info per node.

A full workspace refresh over 293953 files drops from a median of 2486 ms
to 2308 ms.
