phases: add an internal phases
The phase is meant to be used for internal commit that are a byproduct of
command operation (eg:shelve).
This changeset focus on getting the most important feature in, more advanced
API is to be introduced in later changesets.
The phase approach to handle internal has multiple advantages:
* simple to implement, reuse optimized code,
* fits well with existing phases. We don't want internal changeset to be
exchanged or served.
* easy to extend to for lifecycle handling.

We add this new phases with a high number to leave some room to possible other
phases. We also try out playing with the idea of "flag" for phases, each flag
would convey a distinct meaning. We can drop the flag idea in the future
(keeping the existing numbers). The flag property should still move in a
monotonic direction (enabled -> disabled) or be immutable like the "internal"
flag.
To simplify the addition of this new phase, we introduce many placeholder
phases. They are not meant to be used for now. Keeping `allphases` as a list
ensure existing algorithm works fine.
The full performance impact of adding that many hollow phases is unclear so
far. The impact on phase computation is visible but not worrisome.
Runnin `hg perfphase` in my mercurial development repository.
