New Features

• accept existing Windows filesystem metadata
  Once again, skipped through the tests real quick, but deleted some as well
  as they seemed overkill.

  The Windows status cache duplicated index-stat normalization and maintained
  its own cached/live metadata adapter. Timestamp selection, zeroed identity
  fields, size truncation, and mode interpretation could therefore drift from
  the live gix-index path.

  Add a documented Windows-only From<std::fs::Metadata> conversion that wraps
  already obtained metadata without filesystem access. Callers remain
  responsible for obtaining no-follow metadata. Keep Unix excluded because
  its wrapper deliberately uses inode change time rather than birth time.

  Store wrapped metadata in the lazy, per-worker, per-status-call directory
  cache and borrow it during status computation. Live metadata is locally
  owned and borrowed through the same path, so no cloning support is needed.
  Remove the cached Stat record and cached/live adapter, using
  Stat::from_fs(), Mode::change_to_match_fs(), and metadata accessors for
  both sources. Retain the public change_to_match_fs_with_values() API.

  Validate enumeration metadata with Stat::from_fs() before caching it.
  Pre-epoch timestamps still trigger live fallback, preserving status error
  context, concrete causes, and early returns. Unavailable timestamps now
  remain cacheable and use the shared Unix-epoch default, matching live
  interpretation. Retain exact-name lookup, lossless cache keys, successful
  entries alongside unusable ones, and fallback after enumeration failures.
  Windows DirEntry::metadata() still supplies no-follow enumeration data
  without per-entry path metadata calls; full u64 sizes remain available
  independently of truncated index sizes.

  Extend parity tests for executable index mode with both executable-bit
  settings, distinct subsecond creation/modification times, pre-epoch creation
  and modification times, and a sparse file of 4 GiB + 123 bytes. Verify actual
  cached/live status results, timestamp error propagation, intent-to-add early
  returns, and wrapping a metadata snapshot after its source file is removed.
  Retain junction, file/directory symlink, invalid-name, exact-case, missing
  entry, and failed-enumeration coverage.
