The code to match up index entries with the filesystem was stupidly broken. We shouldn't compare the filesystem stat() information with S_IFDIRLNK, since that's purely a git-internal value, and not what the filesystem uses (on the filesystem, it's just a regular directory). Also, don't bother to make the stat() time comparisons etc for DIRLNK entries in ce_match_stat_basic(), since we do an exact match for these things, and the hints in the stat data simply doesn't matter. This fixes "git status" with submodules that haven't been checked out in the supermodule.
