treemanifest: allow setting flag to 't'

When using treemanifests, an on-disk manifest entry with the 't' flag
set means that that entry is a directory and not a file. When read
into memory, these become instances of the treemanifest class. The 't'
flag should therefore never be visible to outside of manifest.py, so
setflag() checks that it is not called with the 't' flag. However, it
turns out that it will be useful for the narrowhg extension to expose
the 't' flag to the user (see below), so let's drop the assertion.

The narrowhg extension allows cloning only a given set of files and
directories. Filelogs and dirlogs that don't match that set will not
be included in the clone. The extension currently doesn't work with
treemanifests. I plan on changing it so directories outside the narrow
clone appear in the manifest. For example, if a directory 'outside/'
is not part of the narrow clone, it will look like a file 'outside'
with the 't' flag set. That will make e.g. manifestmerge() just work
in most cases (and make it well prepared to handle the other
cases).
