dirstate: move the _dirfoldmap to dirstatemap

Now that dirstatemap is the source of truth for the list of directories, let's
move _dirfoldmap on to it.

This pattern of moving cached variables onto the dirstate map makes it easier to
invalidate them, as seen by how the cache invalidation functions are slowly
shrinking to just be recreating the dirstatemap instance.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
