Before this commit, HandleChange would always recursively remove records whenever any Modify change was applied to a directory path.
This was wasteful in the case where HandleChange was called only due to a metadata modification to a directory. In that case, it makes sense to update the directory's node but no existing entries under the directory need to be thrown away.
Now, we only recursively remove records under a directory for the Delete case and when a Modify change replaces a directory with a non-directory.
