commitctx: extract all the file preparation logic in a new function Before we actually start to create a new commit we have a large block of logic that do the necessary file and manifest commit and that determine which files are been affected by the commit (and how). This is a complex process on its own. It return a "simple" output that can be fed to the next step. The output itself is not that simple as we return a lot of individual items (files, added, removed, ...). My next step (and actual goal for this cleanup) will be to simplify the return by returning a richer object that will be more suited for the variation of data we want to store. After this changeset the `commitctx` is a collection of smaller function with limited scope. The largest one is still `_filecommit` without about 100 lines of code.

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).
