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.

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.
