dirstate-v2: Separate iterators for dirfoldmap and debugdirstate

`dirstatemap.dirfoldmap` was recently changed to re-use a Rust iterator
that was added for the `hg debugdirstate` command.

That iterator was based on all nodes in the tree dirstate without an entry
only existing to hold child nodes, and therefore being directories.
However to optimize status further we may want to store additional nodes
for unknown or ignored files and directories. At that point the two users
of this iterator will want different things, so let’s make two iterators
instead.

See doc-comments in `dispatch.rs`.

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.
