rhg: remember the inode of .hg/dirstate
This allows us to detect changes of `.hg/dirstate`, which is either the
full dirstate (in dirstate-v1) or the docket file (v2) without relying on
data inside the file. It only works on UNIX systems.
This fixes a race condition for dirstate-v1 (as demonstrated by
the test changes) and adds a confortable layer of sanity for dirstate-v2.

rust-dirstate-v2: don't write dirstate if data file has changed
This fixes the following race:
- process A reads the dirstate
- process B reads and writes the dirstate
- process A writes the dirstate
This either resulted in losing what process B had just written or a crash
because the `uuid` had changed and we were trying to write to a file that
doesn't exist. More explanations inside.
This doesn't fix the issue for dirstate-v1, a later patch addresses it.

dirstate: set identity whenever we read the dirstate's v2 docket
The docket can be loaded outside of a full read (for exemple when
pre-fetching parents), so the current code would read/set the identity
after loading the data, opening a race condition:
A0: first process docket is read
B0: other process appends new data to the dirstate (and changes the docket)
A1: first process sets the identity (based on pre-B content, but with post-B identity)
A1: first process loads the dirstatemap from the data file
A1: first process does not detect the race and overwrites the update from B.

dirstate: factor the identity setting code in the dirstate map
We need it in more locations, so let us start factoring thing out first
to make sure the same code is called everywhere.
This bears some similarity with 85746485a4dd on default, but at a smaller
scope and for a different purpose.

dirstate: deal with read-race for pure rust code path (rhg)
If we cannot read the dirstate data, this is probably because a writing process

rhg: fix race when an ambiguous file is deleted on disk
There are two places in the status code where we handle files whose status
we are unsure of based off of metadata alone: this one is the first one to
actually disambiguate, and the second one is later in the code (but updated
in the previous commit) for files that are actually clean to update the
dirstate. Since there is a chance that the contents have changed between
those two moments, we need to stat the files again, since re-using the old
stat could lie about the clean state of the file.

When writing dirstate-v2, we might either append to the existing file, or

We are about to introduce some configuration to control this behavior.
As a prelude, we change the current way the behavior was automatically
controlled to make the change smaller/clearer.
