Bump gix from 0.85.0 to 0.86.0

[dependabot]

Bumps gix from 0.85.0 to 0.86.0.

Release notes

Sourced from gix's releases.

gix v0.86.0

New Features (BREAKING)

• use dir-cache for accelerated status calls on Windows

Changed (BREAKING)

• replace maybe-async with bisync. Replace the globally feature-selected maybe-async dependency with bisync 0.3 and re-export the locally selected macro mode from gix-protocol.

  Also use it to deduplicate portions which previously couldn't be handled.

• adapt to lifetime-free configuration files in gix-config Update repository configuration storage, snapshots, overrides, and caches to use the self-contained gix_config::File representation. Configuration can now move through repository initialization, cloning, and remote setup without artificial input lifetimes or conversions to 'static.

  • Return owned BString, PathBuf, OsString, and FullName values from configuration-derived lookups.
  • Simplify fallible optional access from Option<Result<T, E>> to Result<Option<T>, E>, allowing errors to propagate naturally with ?.
  • Accept common string and byte-string inputs through AsBStr in configuration setters, converters, remote lookup, and remote saving.
  • Remove widespread Cow construction, into_owned(), and redundant cloning from configuration consumers.
  • Preserve configuration-key context when converting owned values and enriching validation errors.

  Adapt config-tree conversions for the new owned values and optional-result shape, including booleans, integers, paths, URLs, refspecs, timeouts, compression levels, and reference names.

  Return owned remote names, default remote names, branch tracking references, and submodule paths so these results are independent of the repository configuration borrow. Protocol feature values likewise use owned strings.

  Update repository opening, initialization, cloning, remotes, filters, status, submodules, and related tests to use the lifetime-free APIs.

Other

• update dirwalk::basics for collapsed empty-directory trees some/ (a tree of only empty directories) now collapses to an empty directory and is skipped when empty directories aren't emitted, matching Git which treats a tree with no files as clean. See #2490.
