Add 'ident' conversion.

The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes
except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it
to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout.

As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths,
clarify how they interact with each other.
