nodemap: use an intermediate "docket" file to carry small metadata

This intermediate file will make mmapping, transaction and content validation
easier. (Most of this usefulness will arrive gradually in later changeset). In
particular it will become very useful to append new data are the end of raw file
instead of rewriting on the file on each transaction.

See in code comments for details.

Checking the size/permissions/file-type of files stored in the
dirstate after an update where the files are changed concurrently
outside of hg's control.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg commit -qAm _
  $ echo aa > a
  $ hg commit -m _

  $ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
  n 644          3 (set  |unset)               a (re)

  $ cat >> $TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py << EOF
  > from mercurial import (
  >     extensions,
  >     merge,
  > )
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(merge, 'applyupdates', wrap)
  > def wrap(orig, *args, **kwargs):
  >     res = orig(*args, **kwargs)
  >     with open("a", "w"):
  >         pass # just truncate the file
  >     return res
  > EOF

Do an update where file 'a' is changed between hg writing it to disk
and hg writing the dirstate. The dirstate is correct nonetheless, and
so hg status correctly shows a as clean.

  $ hg up -r 0 --config extensions.race=$TESTTMP/dirstaterace.py
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg debugdirstate --no-dates
  n 644          2 (set  |unset)               a (re)
  $ echo a > a; hg status; hg diff
