rust-dirstatemap: cache non normal and other parent set

Performance of `hg update` was significantly worse since the introduction of
the Rust `dirstatemap`. This regression was noticed by Valentin Gatien-Baron
when working on a large repository, as it goes unnoticed for smaller
repositories like Mercurial itself.

This fix introduces the same getter/setter mechanism at `hg-core` level as
for `set/get_dirs`.

While this technique is, as previously discussed, quite suboptimal, it fixes an
important enough problem. Refactoring `hg-core` to use the typestate
pattern could be a good approach to improving code quality in a future patch.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
