dirstate-tree: Fold "tracked descendants" counter update in main walk
For the purpose of implementing `has_tracked_dir` (which means "has tracked
descendants) without an expensive sub-tree traversal, we maintaing a counter
of tracked descendants on each "directory" node of the tree-shaped dirstate.
Before this changeset, mutating or inserting a node at a given path would
involve:
* Walking the tree from root through ancestors to find the node or the spot
where to insert it
* Looking at the previous node if any to decide what counter update is needed
* Performing any node mutation
* Walking the tree *again* to update counters in ancestor nodes
When profiling `hg status` on a large repo, this second walk takes times
while loading a the dirstate from disk.
It turns out we have enough information to decide before he first tree walk
what counter update is needed. This changeset merges the two walks, gaining
~10% of the total time for `hg update` (in the same hyperfine benchmark as
the previous changeset).

Profiling was done by compiling with this `.cargo/config`:
[profile.release]
debug = true
then running with:
py-spy record -r 500 -n -o /tmp/hg.json --format speedscope -- \
./hg status -R $REPO --config experimental.dirstate-tree.in-memory=1
