dirstate-v2: Add storage space for nanoseconds precision in file mtimes For now the sub-second component is always set to zero for tracked files and symlinks. (The mtime of directories for the `readdir`-skipping optimization is a different code path and already uses the full precision available.) This extra storage uses the space previously freed by replacing the 32-bit `mode` field by two bits in the existing `flags` field, so the overall size of nodes is unchanged. (This space had been left as padding for this purpose.) Also move things around in the node layout and documentation to have less duplication. Now that they have the same representation, directory mtime and file mtime are kept in the same field. (Only either one can exist for a given node.)

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

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).
