py3: use dict.update() instead of constructing lists and adding them
dict.items() returned a list on Python 2 and whereas on Python 3 it returns a
view object. So we required a work around. Using dict.update() is better then
constructing lists as it should save us on gc churns.
#require execbit
$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Am'not executable'
adding a
$ chmod +x a
$ hg ci -m'executable'
$ hg id

Make sure we notice the change of mode if the cached size == -1:
$ hg rm a
$ hg revert -r 0 a
$ hg debugstate
n 0 -1 unset a
$ hg status
M a
$ hg up 0
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ hg id

$ test -x a && echo executable -- bad || echo not executable -- good
not executable -- good
