Always check `parse_tree*()`'s return value
Otherwise we may easily run into serious crashes: For example, if we run
`init_tree_desc()` directly after a failed `parse_tree()`, we are
accessing uninitialized data or trying to dereference `NULL`.
Note that the `parse_tree()` function already takes care of showing an
error message. The `parse_tree_indirectly()` and
`repo_get_commit_tree()` functions do not, therefore those latter call
sites need to show a useful error message while the former do not.
