revset: introduce "_parsealiasdecl" to parse alias declarations strictly

This patch introduces "_parsealiasdecl" to parse alias declarations
strictly. For example, "_parsealiasdecl" can detect problems below,
which current implementation can't.

  - un-closed parenthesis causes being treated as "alias symbol"

    because all of declarations not in "func(....)" style are
    recognized as "alias symbol".

    for example, "foo($1, $2" is treated as the alias symbol.

  - alias symbol/function names aren't examined whether they are valid
    as symbol or not

    for example, "foo bar" can be treated as the alias symbol, but of
    course such invalid symbol can't be referred in revset.

  - just splitting argument list by "," causes overlooking syntax
    problems in the declaration

    for example, all of invalid declarations below are overlooked:

    - foo("bar")     => taking one argument named as '"bar"'
    - foo("unclosed) => taking one argument named as '"unclosed'
    - foo(bar::baz)  => taking one argument named as 'bar::baz'
    - foo(bar($1))   => taking one argument named as 'bar($1)'

To decrease complication of patch, current implementation for alias
declarations is replaced by "_parsealiasdecl" in the subsequent
patch. This patch just introduces it.

This patch defines "_parsealiasdecl" not as a method of "revsetalias"
class but as a one of "revset" module, because of ease of testing by
doctest.

This patch factors some helper functions for "tree" out, because:

  - direct accessing like "if tree[0] == 'func' and len(tree) > 1"
    decreases readability

  - subsequent patch (and also existing code paths, in the future) can
    use them for readability

This patch also factors "_tokenizealias" out, because it can be used
also for parsing alias definitions strictly.

Initial setup.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ touch thefile
  $ hg ci -A -m 'Initial commit.'
  adding thefile

Create a tag.

  $ hg tag branchortag

Create a branch with the same name as the tag.

  $ hg branch branchortag
  marked working directory as branch branchortag
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg ci -m 'Create a branch with the same name as a tag.'

This is what we have:

  $ hg log
