rust: add `dirstate_tree` module Mercurial needs to represent the filesystem hierarchy on which it operates, for example in the dirstate. Its current on-disk representation is an unsorted, flat structure that gets transformed in the current Rust code into a `HashMap`. This loses the hierarchical information of the dirstate, leading to some unfortunate performance and algorithmic compromises. This module adds an implementation of a radix tree that is specialized for representing the dirstate: its unit is the path component. I have made no efforts to optimize either its memory footprint or its insertion speed: they're pretty bad for now. Following will be a few patches that modify the dirstate.status logic to use that new hierarchical information, fixing issue 6335 in the same swing.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
