Checkpoint snapshots of huge trees now say there were too many paths instead of half-finishing.

What
A checkpoint snapshot of a very large working tree can now stop with a clear message instead of producing an incomplete result, and deleted files are counted in the snapshot's path total.
Details
- Attribute listing can return an overflow result, surfaced to you as reason
too_many_pathswith a message saying the attribute listing overflowed; overflowed entries are dropped from the collected list. - Deletions are no longer folded into the bulk staging call; absent paths are listed explicitly from the index instead.
- Files marked skip-worktree are un-marked before being re-added.
- The reported
stats.pathscount now covers removed paths as well as staged ones.
Evidence
more changed paths than a snapshot can list (the attribute listing overflowed)
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
