dirstate: use a single closure for get_flags

The previous code was overlooking fallback when neither symlink not exec was
supported.

The number of "variants" is getting too high, so I am consolidating this in a
single closure that should be easier to maintains.

This also ensure that fallback flags are always taken into account.

(they are not user code yet, but small experimentation shown that the feature
was working as intended.)

A a small side effect we need to check for symlink support more lazily and this
show up in the test in a couple of places.

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.
