rust-dirstate: add rust-cpython bindings to the new parse/pack functions

This allows for Python code to call `parse/pack_dirstate` transparently.

These bindings are heavy given the relatively simple task, as they are bound
to implementation details of both the C and Python code. They will be slimmed
down in future patches and eventually completely removed once more of the
dirstate code has been refactored/rewritten in Rust.

Both functions emulate the mutate-on-loop style of the Python and C
implementations by looping over changed items in the compatibility layer,
instead of at the core functions.

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).
