[PATCH v4 0/7] use fsmonitor data in git diff eliminating O(num_files) calls to lstat

I've rebased it and am submitting it now.

With fsmonitor enabled, git diff currently lstats every file in the repo
This makes use of the fsmonitor extension to skip lstat() calls on files
that fsmonitor judged as unmodified.

I was able to do some testing with/without this change in a large in-house
repo (~ 400k files).

-----------------------------------------
(1) With fsmonitor enabled - on master of git (2.29.0)
-----------------------------------------
../git/bin-wrappers/git checkout HEAD~200
strace -c ../git/bin-wrappers/git diff

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 99.64    4.358994          10    446257         3 lstat
  0.12    0.005353           7       764       360 open

(A subsequent call)
strace -c ../git/bin-wrappers/git diff

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 99.84    4.380955          10    444904         3 lstat
  0.06    0.002564         135        19           munmap
...

-----------------------------------------
(2) With fsmonitor enabled - with my patch
-----------------------------------------
../git/bin-wrappers/git checkout HEAD~200
strace -c ../git/bin-wrappers/git diff

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 50.72    0.003090         163        19           munmap
 19.63    0.001196         598         2           futex
...
  0.00    0.000000           0         4         3 lstat


-----------------------------------------
(3) With fsmonitor disabled entirely
-----------------------------------------

% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
 98.52    0.277085       92362         3           futex
  0.27    0.000752           4       191        63 open
...
  0.14    0.000397           3       158         3 lstat

I was able to encode this into a perf test in one of the commits.

Changes since Patch Series V1

 * Add git diff -- <pathspec> to perf tests
 * improve readability of bitwise ops

Changes since Patch Series V2

 * Add git add to perf tests
 * Refactor perf fsmonitor to simplify / remove redundancy
 * Add linting to perf tests
 * Added git diff -- <pathspec> for various sized pathspecs
 * Confirmed that refresh_fsmonitor was always being called / added to
   commit message

Changes since Patch Series V3

 * Move perf test linting to Makefile in perf/ directory
