mingw: add a cache below mingw's lstat and dirent implementations
Checking the work tree status is quite slow on Windows, due to slow `lstat()` emulation (git calls `lstat()` once for each file in the index). Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the status of entire directories than checking single files. Add an `lstat()` implementation that uses a cache for lstat data. Cache misses read the entire parent directory and add it to the cache. Subsequent `lstat()` calls for the same directory are served directly from the cache. Also implement `opendir()`/`readdir()`/`closedir()` so that they create and use directory listings in the cache. The cache doesn't track file system changes and doesn't plug into any modifying file APIs, so it has to be explicitly enabled for git functions that don't modify the working copy. Note: in an earlier version of this patch, the cache was always active and tracked file system changes via ReadDirectoryChangesW. However, this was much more complex and had negative impact on the performance of modifying git commands such as 'git checkout'.
