scmutil: introduce the flagstate class to suppliment missing flag support
This will allow manipulation of the executable bit when filesystems don't track
it natively. This file isn't tracked in any form, and will likely be small
since it can be purged completely when wdir is cleaned- the manifest tracks the
flags in permanent history. It is intended only for platforms that don't have
native flag support, and will noop on platforms that do for simplicity.
Obviously a tree copy in either direction between filesystems with and without
flag support will lose the flag state, but that seems like an edge case that
isn't worth having two sources of data that can get out of sync on Unix.
We could in theory also support designating a file as a symlink, so I kept this
generic. Since the file isn't tracked, and the flags are stored symbolically,
it should be extensible without changing the file format. So I didn't bother
with a version identifier. I have no idea if there would be any encoding
concerns (I saw references to encode/decode in the fncache class when I was
trying to find a suitable bit of code to model), but I wouldn't think so.
I couldn't find an existing suitable file format, and I really wanted to just
munge the flags on dirstate to get `commit`, `update -C` and `revert` handling
for free. But dirstate doesn't know about the flag building function used in
context.py, and seems to be populated by what the OS reports, though I couldn't
figure out where exactly. I tried overwriting the dirstate entry for a file
with a new dirstatetuple containing the new mode and writing it out, but it
eventually seemed to revert back to missing the executable bit. Since dirstate
is performance sensitive, maybe we shouldn't be fiddling with that anyway.
I wasn't looking to do a dirstate transaction with this, but the tests were
totally unstable from run to run without the normallookup() call. I'm not sure
if we need to backup the file, but that's what the fncache code was doing.
