tests: add more tests of copy tracing with removed and re-added files

We had a test where the destination of a copy was removed and then
added back. This patch adds similar cases where the break in history
instead happens to the source file. There are three versions of this:

 1. The break happens before the rename.

 2. The break happens on a branch parallel to the rename (where copy
    tracing is done via the merge base)

 3. The source is added on each side of the merge base. The break in
    history is thus in the form of a deletion when going backwards to
    the merge base and the re-add happens on the other branch.

I've also added calls to `hg graft` in these cases to show the
breakage in issue 6163.

Another factor in these cases is matching nodeid (checked in
copies._tracefile()). I've made two copies each of the cases to show
the impact of that. One of these is the same as a test in
test-rename-merge1.t, so I also deleted that test from there.

Some of these tests currently fail, where "fail" is based on my
current thinking of how things should work. I had initially thought
that we should be more strict about not tracing copies across commits
where the file did not exist, but issue 6163 made me reconsider.

The only test case here that behaved differently in 4.9 is the
exact case reported in issue 6163.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6599

Mercurial supports generating standalone "bundle" files that hold repository
data. These "bundles" are typically saved locally and used later or exchanged
between different repositories, possibly on different machines. Example
commands using bundles are :hg:`bundle` and :hg:`unbundle`.

Generation of bundle files is controlled by a "bundle specification"
("bundlespec") string. This string tells the bundle generation process how
to create the bundle.

A "bundlespec" string is composed of the following elements:

type
    A string denoting the bundle format to use.

compression
    Denotes the compression engine to use compressing the raw bundle data.

parameters
    Arbitrary key-value parameters to further control bundle generation.

A "bundlespec" string has the following formats:

<type>
    The literal bundle format string is used.

<compression>-<type>
    The compression engine and format are delimited by a hyphen (``-``).

Optional parameters follow the ``<type>``. Parameters are URI escaped
``key=value`` pairs. Each pair is delimited by a semicolon (``;``). The
first parameter begins after a ``;`` immediately following the ``<type>``
value.

Available Types
===============

The following bundle <type> strings are available:

v1
    Produces a legacy "changegroup" version 1 bundle.

    This format is compatible with nearly all Mercurial clients because it is
    the oldest. However, it has some limitations, which is why it is no longer
    the default for new repositories.

    ``v1`` bundles can be used with modern repositories using the "generaldelta"
    storage format. However, it may take longer to produce the bundle and the
    resulting bundle may be significantly larger than a ``v2`` bundle.

    ``v1`` bundles can only use the ``gzip``, ``bzip2``, and ``none`` compression
    formats.

v2
    Produces a version 2 bundle.

    Version 2 bundles are an extensible format that can store additional
    repository data (such as bookmarks and phases information) and they can
    store data more efficiently, resulting in smaller bundles.

    Version 2 bundles can also use modern compression engines, such as
    ``zstd``, making them faster to compress and often smaller.

Available Compression Engines
=============================

The following bundle <compression> engines can be used:

.. bundlecompressionmarker

Examples
========

``v2``
    Produce a ``v2`` bundle using default options, including compression.

``none-v1``
    Produce a ``v1`` bundle with no compression.

``zstd-v2``
    Produce a ``v2`` bundle with zstandard compression using default
    settings.

``zstd-v1``
    This errors because ``zstd`` is not supported for ``v1`` types.
