dirstate-tree: Add tree traversal/iteration

Like Python’s, Rust’s iterators are "external" in that they are driven
by a caller who calls a `next` method. This is as opposed to "internal"
iterators who drive themselves and call a callback for each item.

Writing an internal iterator traversing a tree is easy with recursion,
but internal iterators cannot rely on the call stack in that way,
they must save in an explicit object all state that they need to be
preserved across two `next` calls.

This algorithm uses a `Vec` as a stack that contains what would be
local variables on the call stack if we could use recursion.

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.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
