rebase: use matcher to optimize manifestmerge

The old merge code would call manifestmerge and calculate the complete diff
between the source to the destination. In many cases, like rebase, the vast
majority of differences between the source and destination are irrelevant
because they are differences between the destination and the common ancestor
only, and therefore don't affect the merge. Since most actions are 'keep', all
the effort to compute them is wasted.

Instead, let's compute the difference between the source and the common ancestor
and only perform the diff of those files against the merge destination. When
using treemanifest, this lets us avoid loading almost the entire tree when
rebasing from a very old ancestor. This speeds up rebase of an old stack of 27
commits by 20x.

In mozilla-central, without treemanifest, when rebasing a commit from
default~100000 to default, this speeds up the manifestmerge step from 2.6s to
1.2s.  However, the additional diff adds an overhead to all manifestmerge calls,
especially for flat manifests. When rebasing a commit from default~1 to default
it appears to add 100ms in mozilla-central. While we could put this optimization
behind a flag, I think the fact that it makes merge O(number of changes being
applied) instead of O(number of changes between X and Y) justifies it.

Source bundle was generated with the following script:

# hg init
# echo a > a
# ln -s a l
# hg ci -Ama -d'0 0'
# mkdir b
# echo a > b/a
# chmod +x b/a
# hg ci -Amb -d'1 0'

  $ hg init
  $ hg -q pull "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-manifest.hg"

The next call is expected to return nothing:

  $ hg manifest

  $ hg co
  3 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ hg manifest
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg files -vr .
           2   a
           2 x b/a (glob)
           1 l l
  $ hg files -r . -X b
  a
  l

  $ hg manifest -v
  644   a
  755 * b/a
  644 @ l

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 755 * b/a
  047b75c6d7a3ef6a2243bd0e99f94f6ea6683597 644 @ l

  $ hg manifest -r 0
  a
  l

  $ hg manifest -r 1
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest -r tip
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest tip
  a
  b/a
  l

  $ hg manifest --all
  a
  b/a
  l

The next two calls are expected to abort:

  $ hg manifest -r 2
  abort: unknown revision '2'!
  [255]

  $ hg manifest -r tip tip
  abort: please specify just one revision
  [255]
