Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Any stat checking by git will then need to check content,
which may be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.
This change introduces a core.ignorezerostat config option where the
user can list the fields to ignore using the names above.
