matcher: make e.g. 'relpath:.' lead to fast paths

Several commands take the fast path when match.always() is
true. However, when the user passes "." on the command line, that
results in a matcher for which match.always() == False. Let's make it
so such matchers return True, and have an empty list of .files(). This
makes e.g. "hg log ." as fast as "hg log" and "hg revert ." as fast as
"hg revert --all" (when run from repo root).
