With the isolation of complex reads, we can now try to refresh the on-disk file before reading a value from it. This changes the semantics a bit, as before we could be sure that a string we got from the configuration was valid until we wrote or refreshed. This is no longer the case, as a read can also invalidate the pointer.

This adds a new API that allows users to reload the config if the file has changed on disk. A new config callback function to refresh the config was added. The modified time and file size are used to test if the file needs to be reloaded (and are now stored in the disk backend object). In writing tests, just using mtime was a problem / race, so I wanted to check file size as well. To support that, I extended `git_futils_readbuffer_updated` to optionally check file size in addition to mtime, and I added a new function `git_filebuf_stats` to fetch the mtime and size for an open filebuf (so that the config could be easily refreshed after a write). Lastly, I moved some similar file checking code for attributes into filebuf. It is still only being used for attrs, but it seems potentially reusable, so I thought I'd move it over.
