rust-parsers: switch to parse/pack_dirstate to mutate-on-loop

Both `parse_dirstate` and `pack_dirstate` can operate directly on the data
they're passed, which prevents the creation of intermediate data structures,
simplifies the function signatures and reduces boilerplate. They are exposed
directly to the Python for now, but a later patch will make use of them inside
`hg-core`.
