New Features

• entry::Time can convert from and to system time.
• add State::sort_entries() and State::dangerously_push_entry().
  Both methods work in tandem as one breaks invariants, but allows to quickly
  add entries, while the other restores them.
• add State::entry_mut_by_path_and_stage()
• State::write_to() respects the REMOVED flag.
  That way, one can mark entries for removal and these will be pruned
  at write time. This is preferable over performing removals expensively
  in memory.
• expose git_hash as hash in the root of the crate.
  This makes it easier to use the crate standalone as plumbing as instantiation
  requires access to git_hash.
• add File::at_or_default(...) to easily open or create an empty in-memory index.
  This is a common operation in new repositories.
• add State::new() to create a new empty in-memory index.
• add File::set_path() to allow setting the location of an index file on disk.
  This is useful to change the location of an index after reading it (from another
  location, similar to copy-on-write).

Changed (BREAKING)

• remove File::into_state() in favor of From<File> for State.
  That way it's less discoverable, but more idiomatic, and we don't want to
  get into the habit of providing multiple names of the exact same
  functionality.
