narrowspec: limit patterns to path: and rootfilesin: (BC) Some matcher patterns are computationally expensive and may even have security issues (e.g. evaluating some file sets). For these reasons, we want to limit the types of matcher patterns that can be used in narrow specs and by command line arguments used for defining narrow specs. This commit teaches ``narrowspec.parsepatterns()`` to validate the pattern types against "safe" patterns. Surprisingly, no existing tests broke. So tests for the feature have been added. We also added a function to validate a patterns data structure. This will be used in future commits. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4522

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
