tagcache: distinguish between invalid and missing entries

The TortoiseHg repo has typically not had a newly applied tag accessible by name
for recent releases, for unknown reasons.  Deleting and rebuilding the tag cache
doesn't fix it, though deleting the cache and running `hg log -r $new_tag` does.
Eventually the situation does sort itself out for new clones from the server.
In an effort to figure out what the issue is, Pierre-Yves David suggested
listing these entries in the debug output more specifically.

This isn't complete yet- the second test change that says "missing" is more like
"invalid", since it was truncated.  The problem there is the code that reads the
raw array truncates any partial records and then fills it with 0xFF, which
signifies that it is missing.  As a side note, that means the check for the
length when validating an existing entry never fails.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9811

== New Features ==

 * Windows will process hgrc files in %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\hgrc.d.


== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==

 * The `indent()` template function was documented to not indent empty lines,
   but it still indented the first line even if it was empty. It no longer does
   that.

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==


== Internal API Changes ==

 * Matcher instances no longer have a `explicitdir` property. Consider
   rewriting your code to use `repo.wvfs.isdir()` and/or
   `ctx.hasdir()` instead. Also, the `traversedir` property is now
   also called when only `explicitdir` used to be called. That may
   mean that you can simply remove the use of `explicitdir` if you
   were already using `traversedir`.

 * The `revlog.nodemap` object have been merged into the `revlog.index` object.
   * `n in revlog.nodemap` becomes `revlog.index.has_node(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap[n]` becomes `revlog.index.rev(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap.get(n)` becomes `revlog.index.get_rev(n)`.

 * `copies.duplicatecopies()` was renamed to
   `copies.graftcopies()`. Its arguments changed from revision numbers
   to context objects. It also lost its `repo` and `skip` arguments
   (they should no longer be needed).
