rust-dirstate: call rust dirstatemap from Python
Since Rust-backed Python classes cannot be used as baseclasses (for
rust-cpython anyway), we use composition rather than inheritance.
This also allows us to keep the IO operations in the Python side, removing
(for now) the need to rewrite VFS in Rust, which would be a heavy undertaking.

rust-dirstate: rust-cpython bridge for dirstatemap
This change also showcases the limitations of the `py_shared_ref!` macro.
See the previous commit 'rust-dirstate: rust implementation of dirstatemap`
for an explanation for the TODOs in the code.

rust-dirstate: rust implementation of dirstatemap
The `dirstatemap` is one of the last building blocks needed to get to a
`dirstate.walk` Rust implementation.
Disclaimer: This change is part of a big (10) series of patches, all of which
started as one big changeset that took a long time to write.
This `dirstatemap` implementation is a compromise in terms of complexity both
for me and for the reviewers. I chose to submit this patch right now because
while it is not perfect, it works and is simple enough (IMHO) to be reviewed.
The Python implementation uses a lot of lazy propertycaches, breaks
encapsulation and is used as an iterator in a lot of places, all of which
dictated the somewhat unidiomatic patterns in this change.
Like written in the comments, rewriting this struct to use the typestate
pattern might be a good idea, but this is a good first step.
