Refactor: Reduce complexity of HgWorkdir.get_meta method

Break down the complex get_meta method into smaller, focused helper methods
to improve readability and reduce cyclomatic complexity below the linting
threshold.

Changes:
- Extract _get_node_info() for getting node/tags/date from hg log
- Extract _get_branch_info() for getting branch/dirty status
- Extract _get_node_date() for determining appropriate node date
- Extract _is_initial_node() for checking empty repository state
- Extract _create_initial_meta() for creating initial repository metadata
- Extract _parse_tags() for filtering and processing tags
- Extract _get_version_from_tags() for converting tags to versions
- Extract _get_distance_based_version() for distance-based versioning
- Fix type safety by properly handling None from tag_to_version

Each helper method has a single responsibility and clear documentation.
The main get_meta method now has a clear, linear flow that's easy to follow.
Complexity reduced from 11 to under the 10 threshold.
