copies: avoid calling matcher if matcher.always()

When storing copy information in the changesets
(experimental.copies.read-from=changeset-only), this patch speeds up

  hg debugpathcopies FENNEC_58_0_2_BUILD1 FIREFOX_59_0b8_BUILD2

from 5.9s to 4.7s. At the start of this series (b162229e), that
command took 18min.

    Copytracing is used in commands like rebase, merge, unshelve, etc to merge
    files that were moved/ copied in one merge parent and modified in another.
    For example:

    "copy" is a mapping from destination name -> source name,

    "movewithdir" is a mapping from source name -> destination name,
    where the file at source present in one context but not the other
    needs to be moved to destination by the merge process, because the
    other context moved the directory it is in.

    "diverge" is a mapping of source name -> list of destination names
    for divergent renames.

    "renamedelete" is a mapping of source name -> list of destination
    names for files deleted in c1 that were renamed in c2 or vice-versa.

    "dirmove" is a mapping of detected source dir -> destination dir renames.

    Assumes that moves or renames are of following two types:

    1) Inside a directory only (same directory name but different filenames)
    2) Move from one directory to another
                    (same filenames but different directory names)

    Works only when there are no merge commits in the "source branch".
    Source branch is commits from base up to c2 not including base.

    If merge is involved it fallbacks to _fullcopytracing().

    Can be used by setting the following config:

        [experimental]
        copytrace = heuristics

    In some cases the copy/move candidates found by heuristics can be very large
    in number and that will make the algorithm slow. The number of possible
    candidates to check can be limited by using the config
    `experimental.copytrace.movecandidateslimit` which defaults to 100.
