completion: add a debugpathcomplete command

The bash_completion code uses "hg status" to generate a list of
possible completions for commands that operate on files in the
working directory. In a large working directory, this can result
in a single tab-completion being very slow (several seconds) as a
result of checking the status of every file, even when there is no
need to check status or no possible matches.

The new debugpathcomplete command gains performance in a few simple
ways:

* Allow completion to operate on just a single directory. When used
  to complete the right commands, this considerably reduces the
  number of completions returned, at no loss in functionality.

* Never check the status of files. For completions that really must
  know if a file is modified, it is faster to use status:

  hg status -nm 'glob:myprefix**'

Performance:

Here are the commands used by bash_completion to complete, run in
the root of the mozilla-central working dir (~77,000 files) and
another repo (~165,000 files):

All "normal state" files (used by e.g. remove, revert):

                            mozilla    other
  status -nmcd 'glob:**'       1.77     4.10 sec
  debugpathcomplete -f -n      0.53     1.26
  debugpathcomplete -n         0.17     0.41

("-f" means "complete full paths", rather than the current directory)

Tracked files matching "a":

                            mozilla    other
  status -nmcd 'glob:a**'      0.26     0.47
  debugpathcomplete -f -n a    0.10     0.24
  debugpathcomplete -n a       0.10     0.22

We should be able to further improve completion performance once
the critbit work lands. Right now, our performance is limited by
the need to iterate over all keys in the dirstate.

# an action is a tree node name, a tree label, and an optional match
# __call__(program) parses program into a labeled tree
