dirstate-v2: Separate HAS_FILE_MTIME and HAS_DIRECTORY_MTIME flags

Previously the same flag was used, with its meaning based on whether the node
otherwise identifies a file tracked anywhere.

In addition to being more explicit, this enables storing a directory mtime
if a given path used to be tracked in a parent commit (so the dirstate still
has data about it) but became a directory in the working copy.
(However this is not done yet as it would require a larger change,
replacing the `dirstate_map::NodeData` enum with struct fields.)

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11662

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
