add a stat_validity struct

add a stat_validity struct

It can sometimes be useful to know whether a path in the
filesystem has been updated without going to the work of
opening and re-reading its content. We trust the stat()
information on disk already to handle index updates, and we
can use the same trick here.

This patch introduces a "stat_validity" struct which
encapsulates the concept of checking the stat-freshness of a
file. It is implemented on top of "struct stat_data" to
reuse the logic about which stat entries to trust for a
particular platform, but hides the complexity behind two
simple functions: check and update.
