convert: introduce --full for converting all files

Convert will normally only process files that were changed in a source
revision, apply the filemap, and record it has a change in the target
repository. (If it ends up not really changing anything, nothing changes.)

That means that _if_ the filemap is changed before continuing an incremental
convert, the change will only kick in when the files it affects are modified in
a source revision and thus processed.

With --full, convert will make a full conversion every time and process
all files in the source repo and remove target repo files that shouldn't be
there. Filemap changes will thus kick in on the first converted revision, no
matter what is changed.

This flag should in most cases not make any difference but will make convert
significantly slower.

Other names has been considered for this feature, such as "resync", "sync",
"checkunmodified", "all" or "allfiles", but I found that they were less obvious
and required more explanation than "full" and were harder to describe
consistently.
