split: handle partial commit of renames when doing split or record (issue5723)

When using split or record, using either interface (text or curses), selecting
portions of the file to be committed/recorded did not work; the entire file was
treated as having been selected. This was because the logic for handling partial
application of the patches relies on knowing what files are "new with
modifications" and it doesn't treat "rename destination" as "new".

There was a complicating issue, however. We're relying on the patch header
specifying the copy from/to information, which works as long as the 'copy from'
file is there. In the case of renames, however, the 'rename from' file is *not*
there, so we need to add it back.

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
