I needed this in the course of debugging an error. Before this commit, the error looked like this:
```
Error: Unexpected error from backend: Object not found
```
After this commit, it looks like this:
```
Error: Unexpected error from backend: Object with CommitId 8f59646bc9bb6bb44b5624f1248f4a708f37003c not found: object not found - no match for id (8f59646bc9bb6bb44b5624f1248f4a708f37003c); class=Odb (9); code=NotFound (-3)
```
Strictly speaking, we could rely on e.g. `git2::Oid::from_str` to produce an error, but I figure that having an explicit error for a mismatching hash length might demystify some error condition in the future, since commit IDs and change IDs and potentially other backends' IDs may have different lengths, so this could flag a mismatch earlier/more obviously.
It's unlikely we'll need to customize these impls per type, so let's ensure
that these newtypes have identical implementations. This commit also adds
from_hex() to FileId, SymlinkId, and ConflictId.
Let's acknowledge everyone's contributions by replacing "Google LLC"

correctly, it won't have any legal effect, but maybe it still helps
reduce concerns from contributors (though I haven't heard any
concerns).

There are no "non-normal" files, so "normal" is not needed. We have
symlinks and conflicts, but they are not files, so I think just "file"
is unambiguous.
I left `testutils::write_normal_file()` because there it's used to
mean "not executable file" (there's also a `write_executable_file()`).
I left `working_copy::FileType::Normal` since renaming `Normal` there
to `File` would also suggest we should rename `FileType`, and I don't
know what would be a better name for that type.
Decouples view/operation IDs from serialized forms, which are not
necessarily stable. Not breaking as these IDs are persistent, never
recomputed or used for integrity checking.
I was reading a draft of "Git Rev News: Edition 91" [1] where Peff
mentions some unfinished patches to allow negative timestamps in
Git. So I figured I should add support for that before I forget. I
haven't checked if libgit2 supports it, so it might be that our Git
backend still doesn't support it after this patch.

We currently determine if the repo uses the Git backend or the local
backend by checking for presence of a `.jj/repo/store/git_target`
file. To make it easier to add out-of-tree backends, let's instead add
a file that indicates which backend to use.
I had made the backends unaware of the virtual root commit because
they don't need to know about it, and we could avoid some duplicated
code by putting that in `Store` instead. However, as we saw in
b21a123bc894, the root commit being virtual has some user-visible
effects (they can't create a merge with the root and some other
commit). So I'm thinking that we may want to make the root commit an
actual commit, depending on which backend is used. Specificially, when
using the Git backend, we cannot record the root commit as an actual
parent since Git would fail when trying to look it up. Backends that
don't need compatibility can make the root commit an actual commit,
however.
This commit therefore makes the backends aware of the root commit. It
makes it remain a virtual commit in the Git backend, and makes it an
actual commit in the `LocalBackend`.
This commit breaks any existing repos using the `LocalBackend`, but
there shouldn't be any such repos other than for testing.
We do it for all the other kinds of objects already. It's useful to
have the path for backends that store objects by path (we don't have
any such backends yet). I think the reason I didn't do it from the
beginning was because we had separate `RepoPath` types for files and
directories back then.
This patch introduces a `JJ_TIMESTAMP` environment variable that lets
us specify the timestamp to use in tests. It also updates the tests to
use it, which means we get to simplify the tests a lot now that that
the hashes are predictable.
The recent e5dd93cbf712, whose description says "cleanup: make Vec
inside CommitId etc. non-public", made all ID types in the `backend`
module *except* for `CommitId` non-public :P This patch makes
