hardlink: check directory's st_dev when copying files

Previously, when copying a file, copyfiles will compare src's st_dev with
dirname(dst)'s st_dev, to decide whether to enable hardlink or not.

That could have issues on Linux's overlayfs, where stating directories could
result in different st_dev from st_dev of stating files, even if both the
directories and the files exist in the overlay's upperdir.

This patch fixes it by checking dirname(src) instead. It's more consistent
because we are checking directories for both src and dest.

That fixes test-hardlinks.t running on common Docker setups.

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.
