changegroup: fix treemanifests on merges

The current code for generating treemanifest revisions takes the list
of files in the changeset and finds the directories from them. This
does not work for merges, since a merge may pick file A from one side
and file B from another and neither of them would appear in the
changeset's "files" list, but the manifest would still change.

Fix this by instead walking the root manifest log for all needed
revisions, storing all needed file and subdirectory revisions, then
recursively visiting the subdirectories. This also turns out to be
faster: cloning a version of hg core converted to treemanifests went
from ~28s to ~19s (timing somewhat unfair: before this patch, timed
until crash; after this patch, timed until manifests complete).

The new algorithm is used only on treemanifest repos. Although it
works equally well on flat manifests, we leave the iteration over
files in the changeset for flat manifests for now.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
