dirstate-v2: Introduce a docket file
.hg/dirstate now only contains some metadata to point to a separate data file
named .hg/dirstate.{}.d with a random hexadecimal identifier. For now every
update creates a new data file and removes the old one, but later we’ll
(usually) append to an existing file.
Separating into two files allows doing the "write to a temporary file then
atomically rename into destination" dance with only a small docket file,
without always rewriting a lot of data.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist 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).
