typing: add type annotations to the dirstate classes...
typing: add type annotations to the dirstate classes The basic procedure here was to use `merge-pyi` to merge the `git/dirstate.pyi` file in (after renaming the interface class to match), cleaning up the import statement mess, and then repeating the procedure for `mercurial/dirstate.pyi`. Surprisingly, git's dirstate had more hints inferred in its *.pyi file. After that, it was a manual examination of each method in the interface, and how they were implemented in the core and git classes to verify what was inferred by pytype, and fill in the missing gaps. Since this involved jumping around between three different files, I applied the same type info to all three at the same time. Complex types I rolled up into type aliases in the interface module, and used that as needed. That way if it changes, there's one place to edit. There are some hints still missing, and some documentation that doesn't match the signatures. They should all be marked with TODOs. There are also a bunch of methods on the core class that aren't on the Protocol class that seem like maybe they should be (like `set_tracked()`). There are even more methods missing from the git class. But that's a project for another time.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
