status: simplify the post status fixup phases

With the wlock automatically discarding changes when applicable, we can
simplify the code a bit.

* we perform the fixup operation before trying to grab the lock to narrow the `try/except`

* we no longer need to explicitly complare dirstate identities. We can trust
  the dirstate internal refresh for that. It would invalidate dirty data when
  needed.

* detect still data invalidation by checking the dirty flag before and after
  taking the lock. Doing this is actually only necessary to issue the debug
  message, we could blindy trust the dirstate internal to ignore the `write`
  call on a non-dirty dirstate.

== New Features ==

 * `hg mv -A` can now be used with `--at-rev`. It behaves just like
   `hg cp -A --at-rev`, i.e. it marks the destination as a copy of the
   source whether or not the source still exists (but the source must
   exist in the parent revision).

 * New revset predicate `diffcontains(pattern)` for filtering revisions
   in the same way as `hg grep --diff pattern`.

 * The memory footprint per changeset and per file during pull/unbundle
   operations has been significantly reduced.


== New Experimental Features ==



== Bug Fixes ==



== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==



== Internal API Changes ==

 * `merge.update()` is now private (renamed to `_update()`). Hopefully
   the higher-level functions available in the same module cover your
   use cases.

 * `phases.registernew` now takes a set of revisions instead of a list
   of nodes. `phases.advanceboundary` takes an optional set of revisions
   in addition to the list of nodes. The corresponeding members of the
   `phasecache` class follow this change.

 * The `addgroup` member of `revlog` classes no longer keeps a list of
   all found nodes. It now returns True iff a node was found in the group.
   An optional callback for duplicated nodes can be used by callers to keep
   track of all nodes themselve.

 * The `_chaininfocache` of `revlog` classes has been changed from a dict
   to a LRU cache.
