rust-manifest: encode flags as `Option<NonZeroU8>` This makes the compiler use the niche optimization for all flags: since 0 is not a valid representation of any flags, we can use 0 as a replacement for `None`, which reduces memory footprint and could yield a little performance improvement over many iterations.

rust-repo: add a method to set the current parents This will be useful when we start writing an `hg update` fastpath.

rust-repo: add a method to get a `Node` from a `Revision` to the `Repo` This is going to be more and more useful as we start writing higher-level code

rust-utils: move the `filesystem_now` function to a util This is going to be useful for an upcoming `hg update` fastpath.

rust-dirstate: actually remember the identity This was an oversight that likely had no influence on anything since we have only been writing the dirstate for status. We will start writing the dirstate for more operations now, so we'll need this fixed.

mergestate: reduce the number of attribute lookups This code is called a lot during updates, this is a very small but also very easy thing to do.

test-lfs-serve-access: account for output differences in Python 3.12 This test is quite noisy, but the fix was very easy.

patchbomb: don't test ambiguous address This is a bug in Python's `email` package and shouldn't be relied on. Python 3.12 has fixed this problem¹ and raises an exception. We keep the multiple `-t` because this is still relevant for testing. [1] https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/102988 [2] https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/changelog.html

contrib: install pip 24.2 in the Windows dependency installer script One of the modern pythons was crying about the old version importing `distutils`.

contrib: install the latest py 3.11-3.13 in the Windows dependency script Note that python 3.11 adds an installer for arm64, which we ignore here because I don't have a Windows system running arm64, and it's likely we will be dropping support for some platforms before I get my hands on one.
