Summary

This makes the dirstate-v2 file format match dirstate-v1 for the order of
mode, size, and mtime. This order does not matter as long as these
components are handled through named fields/attributes in code, but in a few
places we still have tuples so having the same order everywhere might help
avoid a bug that might not be obvious since those components have the same type.
