dir.c: make add_excludes aware of fscache during status

Teach read_directory_recursive() and add_excludes() to
be aware of optional fscache and avoid trying to open()
and fstat() non-existant ".gitignore" files in every
directory in the worktree.

The current code in add_excludes() calls open() and then
fstat() for a ".gitignore" file in each directory present
in the worktree.  Change that when fscache is enabled to
call lstat() first and if present, call open().

This seems backwards because both lstat needs to do more
work than fstat.  But when fscache is enabled, fscache will
already know if the .gitignore file exists and can completely
avoid the IO calls.  This works because of the lstat diversion
to mingw_lstat when fscache is enabled.

This reduced status times on a 350K file enlistment of the
Windows repo on a NVMe SSD by 0.25 seconds.
