fsmonitor: handle version 2 of the hooks that will use opaque token
Some file monitors like watchman will use something other than a timestamp to keep better track of what changes happen in between calls to query the fsmonitor. The clockid in watchman is a string. Now that the index is storing an opaque token for the last update the code needs to be updated to pass that opaque token to a verion 2 of the fsmonitor hook. Because there are repos that already have version 1 of the hook and we want them to continue to work when git is updated, we need to handle both version 1 and version 2 of the hook. In order to do that a config value is being added core.fsmonitorHookVersion to force what version of the hook should be used. When this is not set it will default to -1 and then the code will attempt to call version 2 of the hook first. If that fails it will fallback to trying version 1.
