status: create class for status lists

Callers of various status() methods (on dirstate, context, repo) get a
tuple of 7 elements, where each element is a list of files. This
results in lots of uses of indexes where names would be much more
readable. For example, "status.ignored" seems clearer than "status[4]"
[1]. So, let's introduce a simple named tuple containing the 7 status
fields: modified, added, removed, deleted, unknown, ignored, clean.

This patch introduces the class and updates the status methods to
return instances of it. Later patches will update the callers.

 [1] Did you even notice that it should have been "status[5]"?

(tweaked by mpm to introduce the class in scmutil and only change one user)
