exchange: support defining narrow file patterns for pull

This commit teaches exchange.pull() about the desire to perform a
narrow file pull. We simply pass include and exclude patterns to
the function. The values are validated and stored on the pulloperation
instance.

hg.clone() has been taught to pass these arguments to exchange.pull().

If the arguments are not passed to exchange.pull(), the active narrow
patterns from the repository will automatically be used. We /could/
always use the narrow patterns from the repo. However, allowing
explicit values to be passed in allows us to perform data fetching
that doesn't necessarily align with the repo configuration. This
provides more flexibility.

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).
