FileSystem API: Fix autovivification deprecation notice in recurse_dirsize().

PHP natively allows for autovivification (auto-creation of arrays from falsey values). This feature is very useful and used in a lot of PHP projects, especially if the variable is undefined. However, there is a little oddity that allows creating an array from a false and null value.

The above quote is from the PHP 8.1 RFC and the (accepted) RFC changes the behaviour described above to deprecated auto creation of arrays from false. As it is deprecated, it _will_ still work for the time being, but as of PHP 9.0, this will become a Fatal Error, so we may as well fix it now.

The recurse_dirsize() function retrieves a transient and places it in the $directory_cache variable, but the get_transient() function in WP returns false when the transient doesn't exist, which subsequently can lead to the above mentioned deprecation notice.

By verifying that the $directory_cache variable is an array before assigning to it and initializing it to an empty array, if it's not, we prevent the deprecation notice, as well as harden the function against potentially corrupted transients where this transient would not return the expected array format, but some other variable type.

Includes adding dedicated unit tests for both the PHP 8.1 issue, as well as the hardening against corrupted transients.

Includes some girl-scouting: touching up a parameter description and some code layout.
