manifest: add some tests for manifest.matches()
There were no tests for the various code paths in manifestdict.matches(), so I
added some. This also adds a more complex testing manifest so that any bugs
relating to traversal of directories are more likely to be caught.

forget: cleanup the output for an inexact case match on icasefs
Previously, specifying a file name but not matching the dirstate case yielded
the following, even though the file was actually removed:
$ hg forget capsdir1/capsdir/abc.txt
not removing capsdir\a.txt: file is already untracked
removing CapsDir\A.txt
[1]
This change doesn't appear to cause any extra filesystem accesses, even if a
nonexistant file is specified.
If a directory is specified without a case match, it is (and was previously)
still silently ignored.

json: implement {tags} template
Tags is pretty easy to implement. Let's start there.
The output is slightly different from `hg tags -Tjson`. For reference,
the CLI has the following output:
[
{
"node": "e2049974f9a23176c2addb61d8f5b86e0d620490",
"rev": 29880,
"tag": "tip",
"type": ""
},
...
]
Our output has the format:
{
"node": "0aeb19ea57a6d223bacddda3871cb78f24b06510",
"tags": [
{
"node": "e2049974f9a23176c2addb61d8f5b86e0d620490",
"tag": "tag1",
"date": [1427775457.0, 25200]
},
...
]
}
"rev" is omitted because it isn't a reliable identifier. We shouldn't
be exposing them in web APIs and giving the impression it remotely
resembles a stable identifier. Perhaps we could one day hide this behind
a config option (it might be useful to expose when running servers
locally).
The "type" of the tag isn't defined because this information isn't yet
exposed to the hgweb templater (it could be in a follow-up) and because
it is questionable whether different types should be exposed at all.
(Should the web interface really be exposing "local" tags?)
We use an object for the outer type instead of Array for a few reasons.
First, it is extensible. If we ever need to throw more global properties
into the output, we can do that without breaking backwards compatibility
(property additions should be backwards compatible). Second, uniformity
in web APIs is nice. Having everything return objects seems much saner than
a mix of array and object. Third, there are security issues with arrays
in older browsers. The JSON web services world almost never uses arrays
as the main type for this reason.
Another possibly controversial part about this patch is how dates are
defined. While JSON has a Date type, it is based on the JavaScript Date
type, which is widely considered a pile of garbage. It is a non-starter
for this reason.
Many of Mercurial's built-in date filters drop seconds resolution. So
that's a non-starter as well, since we want the API to be lossless where
possible. rfc3339date, rfc822date, isodatesec, and date are all lossless.
However, they each require the client to perform string parsing on top of
JSON decoding. While date parsing libraries are pretty ubiquitous, some
languages don't have them out of the box. However, pretty much every
programming language can deal with UNIX timestamps (which are just
integers or floats). So, we choose to use Mercurial's internal date
representation, which in JSON is modeled as float seconds since UNIX
epoch and an integer timezone offset from UTC (keep in mind
JavaScript/JSON models all "Numbers" as double prevision floating point
numbers, so there isn't a difference between ints and floats in JSON).

templates: add a stub template for json
Many have long wanted hgweb to emit a common machine readable output.
We start the process by defining a stub json template.
Right now, each endpoint returns a stub "not yet implemented" string.
Individual templates will be implemented in subsequent patches.
Basic tests for templates have been included. Coverage isn't perfect,
but it is better than nothing.

get-with-headers: support parsing and pretty printing JSON
Upcoming patches will add support for JSON output from hgweb.
Because JSON output from the templater is hard to read and because it
is easy to introduce malformed JSON, we introduce a JSON processing
mode to get-with-headers.py that will parse and pretty print JSON
from HTTP responses. This will make tests easier to read and write
and it will ensure hgweb is emitting well-formed JSON.
