rust-status: collect traversed directories if required

Some commands (`hg purge` notably) register the `traversedir` callback on their
matcher to run said callback every time a directory is traversed.

This is the first of three patches, further broadening Rust support for status.

Unfortunately, there is no way around collecting a full `Vec` (or any other
owned datastructure, like a radix tree) and pushing it back up the Python layer
since keeping the Python callback in a closure would mean giving up
multithreading because of the GIL, which is obviously unacceptable.

Performance is still a lot better than the Python+C path.

Running `hg clean/purge` on Netbeans' repo (100k files):

```
     | No-op | 30% unknown
--------------------------
Rust | 1.0s  | 1.67s
C    | 2.0s  | 2.87s
```

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.
