checkout test: add core.filemode checkout tests
Add two tests for filemode. The first ensures that `core.filemode=true` is honored: if we have changed the filemode such that a file that _was_ executable (mode 0755) is now executable (mode 0644) and we go to check out a branch that has otherwise changed the contents of the file, then we should raise a checkout conflict for that file. The second ensures that `core.filemode=false` is honored: in the same situation, we set a file that was executable to be non-executable, and check out the branch that changes the contents of the file. However, since `core.filemode` is false, we do not detect the filemode change. We run these tests on both operating systems that obey `core.filemode` (eg, POSIX) and those that have no conception of filemode (eg, Win32). This ensures that `core.filemode` is always honored, as it is a cache of the underlying filesystem's settings. This ensures that we do not make assumptions based on the operating system, and honor the configuration setting even if it were misconfigured.
