match: override matchfn instead of __call__ for consistency The matchers that were recently moved into core from the sparse extension override __call__, while the previously existing matchers override matchfn. Let's switch to the latter for consistency.

match: express anypats(), not prefix(), in terms of the others When I added prefix() in 9789b4a7c595 (match: introduce boolean prefix() method, 2014-10-28), we already had always(), isexact(), and anypats(), so it made sense to write it in terms of them (a prefix matcher is one that isn't any of the other types). It's only now that I realize that it's much more natural to define prefix() explicitly (it's one that uses path: patterns, roughly speaking) and let anypats() be defined in terms of the others. Remember that these methods are all used for determining which fast paths are possible. anypats() simply means that no fast paths are possible (it could be called complex() instead). Further evidence is that rootfilesin:some/dir does not have any patterns, but it's still considered to be an anypats() matcher. That's because anypats() really just means that it's not a prefix() matcher (and not always() and not isexact()). This patch thus changes prefix() to return False by default and anypats() to return True only if the other three are False. Having anypats() be True by default also seems like a good thing, because it means forgetting to override it will lead only to performance bugs, not correctness bugs. Since the base class's implementation changes, we're also forced to update the subclasses. That change exposed and fixed a bug in the differencematcher: for example when both its two input matchers were prefix matchers, we would say that the result was also a prefix matcher, which is incorrect, because e.g "path:dir - path:dir/foo" no longer matches everything under "dir" (which is what prefix() means).
