dirstate.status: assign members one by one instead of unpacking the tuple

With this patch, hg status and hg diff regain their previous speed.

The following tests are run against a working copy with over 270,000 files.
Here, 'before' means without this or the previous patch applied.

Note that in this case `hg perfstatus` isn't representative since it doesn't
take dirstate parsing time into account.

$ time hg status  # best of 5
before: 2.03s user 1.25s system 99% cpu 3.290 total
after:  2.01s user 1.25s system 99% cpu 3.261 total

$ time hg diff    # best of 5
