// insertStr inserts 's' into 'ss', preserving sorting (it assumes that 'ss' is
// sorted). If a copy is necessary (because cap(ss) is too small), only does
// one copy (unlike `append(append(ss[:idx], newS), ss[idx:]...)`). This is
// because directory nodes may include a large number of children.
//
// This is used to preserve the order in DirectoryNode.Children, which must
// be maintained so that equivalent directories have the same hash.
//
// Returns 'true' if newS was added to 'ss' and 'false' otherwise (if newS is
// already in 'ss').
