dirstate-tree: Fold "tracked descendants" counter update in main walk

For the purpose of implementing `has_tracked_dir` (which means "has tracked
descendants) without an expensive sub-tree traversal, we maintaing a counter
of tracked descendants on each "directory" node of the tree-shaped dirstate.

Before this changeset, mutating or inserting a node at a given path would
involve:

* Walking the tree from root through ancestors to find the node or the spot
  where to insert it
* Looking at the previous node if any to decide what counter update is needed
* Performing any node mutation
* Walking the tree *again* to update counters in ancestor nodes

When profiling `hg status` on a large repo, this second walk takes times
while loading a the dirstate from disk.

It turns out we have enough information to decide before he first tree walk
what counter update is needed. This changeset merges the two walks, gaining
~10% of the total time for `hg update` (in the same hyperfine benchmark as
the previous changeset).

Profiling was done by compiling with this `.cargo/config`:

    [profile.release]
    debug = true

then running with:

    py-spy record -r 500 -n -o /tmp/hg.json --format speedscope -- \
    ./hg status -R $REPO --config experimental.dirstate-tree.in-memory=1

then visualizing the recorded JSON file in https://www.speedscope.app/

#require symlink

Create extension that can disable symlink support:

  $ cat > nolink.py <<EOF
  > from mercurial import extensions, util
  > def setflags(orig, f, l, x):
  >     pass
  > def checklink(orig, path):
  >     return False
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'setflags', setflags)
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'checklink', checklink)
  > EOF

  $ hg init unix-repo
  $ cd unix-repo
  $ echo foo > a
  $ ln -s a b
  $ hg ci -Am0
  adding a
  adding b
  $ cd ..

Simulate a checkout shared on NFS/Samba:

  $ hg clone -q unix-repo shared
  $ cd shared
  $ rm b
  $ echo foo > b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py status --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Make a clone using placeholders:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py clone . ../win-repo
  updating to branch default
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd ../win-repo
  $ cat b
  a (no-eol)
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug

Empty placeholder:

  $ rm b
  $ touch b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Write binary data to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this is a binary\0') and None
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Write a long string to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this' * 1000) and None
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Commit shouldn't succeed:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
  nothing changed
  [1]

Write a valid string to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this') and None
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  M b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
  $ hg manifest tip --verbose
  644   a
  644 @ b

  $ cd ..
