cache: add fake_lstat()

At times, we may already know that a path represented by a
cache_entry ce has no changes via some out-of-line means, like
fsmonitor, and yet need the control to go through a codepath that
requires us to have "struct stat" obtained by lstat() on the path,
for various purposes (e.g. "ie_match_stat()" wants cached stat-info
is still current wrt "struct stat", "diff" wants to know st_mode).

The callers of lstat() on a tracked file, when its cache_entry knows
it is up-to-date, can instead call this helper to pretend that it
called lstat() by faking the "struct stat" information.
