posix, windows: introduce cachestat

This class contains a stat result, and possibly other file info to reliably
determine between two points in time whether a file has changed.

Uniquely identifying a file gives us that reliability because we either
atomic rename or append. So one of two will happen: the file 'id' will change,
or the size of the file will change.

posix implements it simply by calling os.stat() and checking if the result
has st_ino.

For now on Windows we always assume the path is uncacheable. This can be
improved on NTFS due to file IDs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363788(v=vs.85).aspx

So we need to find out if a file path is on an NTFS drive, for that we have:

- GetVolumeInformation, which unfortunately only works with a root path (but is available on XP)
- GetVolumeInformationByHandleW, works on a full file path but requires Vista or higher

Just exercize debugindexdot
Create a short file history including a merge.
  $ hg init t
  $ cd t
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -qAm t1 -d '0 0'
  $ echo a >> a
  $ hg ci -m t2 -d '1 0'
  $ hg up -qC 0
  $ echo b >> a
  $ hg ci -m t3 -d '2 0'
  created new head
  $ HGMERGE=true hg merge -q
  $ hg ci -m merge -d '3 0'

  $ hg debugindexdot .hg/store/data/a.i
  digraph G {
  	-1 -> 0
  	0 -> 1
  	0 -> 2
  	2 -> 3
  	1 -> 3
  }
