feat(pack)!: synchronize lockfile with installed plugins when reading it

Problem: Lockfile can become out of sync with what is actually installed
  on disk when user performs (somewhat reasonable) manual actions like:
    - Delete lockfile and expect it to regenerate.
    - Delete plugin directory without `vim.pack.del()`.
    - Manually edit lock data in a bad way.

Solution: Synchronize lockfile data with installed plugins on every
  lockfile read. In particular:

    1. Install immediately all missing plugins with valid lock data.
       This helps with "manually delete plugin directory" case by
       prompting user to figure out how to properly delete a plugin.

    2. Repair lock data for properly installed plugins.
       This helps with "manually deleted lockfile", "manually edited
       lockfile in an unexpected way", "installation terminated due to
       timeout" cases.

    3. Remove unrepairable corrupted lock data and their plugins. This
       includes bad lock data for missing plugins and any lock data
       for corrupted plugins (right now this only means that plugin
       path is not a directory, but can be built upon).

  Step 1 also improves usability in case there are lazy loaded plugins
  that are rarely loaded (like on `FileType` event, for example):
    - Previously starting with config+lockfile on a new machine only
      installs rare `vim.pack.add()` plugin after it is called (while
      an entry in lockfile would still be present). This could be
      problematic if there is no Internet connection, for example.
    - Now all plugins from the lockfile are installed before actually
      executing the first `vim.pack.add()` call in 'init.lua'. And later
      they are only loaded on a rare `vim.pack.add()` call.

  ---

  Synchronizing lockfile on its every read makes it work more robustly
  if other `vim.pack` functions are called without any `vim.pack.add()`.

  ---

  Performance for a regular startup (good lockfile, everything is
  installed) is not affected and usually even increased. The bottleneck
  in this area is figuring out which plugins need to be installed.

  Previously the check was done by `vim.uv.fs_stat()` for every plugin
  in `vim.pack.add()`. Now it is replaced with a single `vim.fs.dir()`
  traversal during lockfile sync while later using lockfile data to
  figure out if plugin needs to be installed.

  The single `vim.fs.dir` approach scales better than `vim.uv.fs_stat`,
  but might be less performant if there are many plugins that will be
  not loaded via `vim.pack.add()` during startup.

  Rough estimate of how long the same steps (read lockfile and normalize
  plugin array) take with a single `vim.pack.add()` filled with 43
  plugins benchmarking:
  - Before commit: ~700 ms
  - After commit:  ~550 ms
