dirstate-v2: Add a zero-size error type for dirstate v2 parse errors This error should only happen if Mercurial is buggy or the file is corrupted. It indicates for example that: * A part of the file refers to another part, and the byte offset or item count would cause reading out of bounds, beyond the end of the file. * The byte for an entry state has an invalid value When parsing becomes lazy, many more functions will return a `Result` with this error. Making it zero-size reduces the work that the `?` operator needs to do to pass around the error value. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10748

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
