bug#59115: 29.0.50; byte-recompile-directory incorrectly ignoring files

Commit 8638aace3fbe01529f33870f469fa60bf5e43ee7
introduced a bug which will cause byte-recompile-directory to invert the semantics of the byte-compile-ingore-files option.

To reproduce:

1. mkdir /tmp/bug/ && cd /tmp/bug/
2. Copy an elisp file which would normally be byte-compiled into that directory 3. emacs -Q --batch --eval "(byte-recompile-directory default-directory 0 'force)"

You should see output similar to:

Checking /tmp/bug...
Done (Total of 0 files compiled)


In general the entire logic of byte-recompile-directory is messy.
Two ifs without elses, lots of negated predicates, etc. I can see why the mistake was easy to overlook. This could be further refactored to make it easier to read by leveraging when/unless appropriately. Perhaps there's an argument for some abnormal hooks in place of those long chains of ad-hoc predicates, but I'm more interested in fixing the problem now.

The attached patch fixes it for me.
