shallow: use stat_validity to check for up-to-date file
When we are about to write the shallow file, we check that it has not changed since we last read it. Instead of hand-rolling this, we can use stat_validity. This is built around the index stat-check, so it is more robust than just checking the mtime, as we do now (it uses the same check as we do for index files). The new code also handles the case of a shallow file appearing unexpectedly. With the current code, two simultaneous processes making us shallow (e.g., two "git fetch --depth=1" running at the same time in a non-shallow repository) can race to overwrite each other. As a bonus, we also remove a race in determining the stat information of what we read (we stat and then open, leaving a race window; instead we should open and then fstat the descriptor).
