Measure file timestamp resolution used in FileSnapshot

FileSnapshot.notRacyClean() assumed a worst case filesystem timestamp
resolution of 2.5 sec (FAT has a resolution of 2 sec). Instead measure
timestamp resolution to avoid unnecessary IO caused by false positives
in detecting the racy git problem caused by finite filesystem timestamp
resolution [1].

Cache the measured resolution per FileStore since timestamp resolution
depends on the respective filesystem type. If timestamp resolution
cannot be measured or fails due to an exception fallback to the worst
case FAT timestamp resolution and avoid caching this value.

Add a 10% safety margin in FileSnapshot.notRacyClean(), though running
FsTest.testFsTimestampResolution() 1000 times which is not using a
safety margin didn't fail on Mac using APFS and Java 8, 11, 12.

Measured Java file timestamp resolution: [2]
