diff: also yield file context objects in patch.trydiff() (API)

And retrieve them in patch.diffhunks(). We'll use these in forthcoming
changesets to filter diff hunks by line range.

Setup:
  $ cat > eval.py <<EOF
  > from __future__ import absolute_import
  > import filecmp
  > from mercurial import commands, context, registrar
  > cmdtable = {}
  > command = registrar.command(cmdtable)
  > @command(b'eval', [], 'hg eval CMD')
  > def eval_(ui, repo, *cmds, **opts):
  >     cmd = " ".join(cmds)
  >     res = str(eval(cmd, globals(), locals()))
  >     ui.warn("%s" % res)
  > EOF

  $ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ echo "eval=`pwd`/eval.py" >> $HGRCPATH

Arbitraryfilectx.cmp does not follow symlinks:
  $ mkdir case1
  $ cd case1
  $ hg init
  $ printf "A" > real_A
  $ printf "foo" > A
  $ printf "foo" > B
  $ ln -s A sym_A
  $ hg add .
  adding A
  adding B
  adding real_A
  adding sym_A
  $ hg commit -m "base"

These files are different and should return True (different):
(Note that filecmp.cmp's return semantics are inverted from ours, so we invert
for simplicity):
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['real_A'])"
  True (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('A', 'real_A')"
  True (no-eol)

These files are identical and should return False (same):
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['A'])"
  False (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['B'])"
  False (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('A', 'B')"
  False (no-eol)

This comparison should also return False, since A and sym_A are substantially
the same in the eyes of ``filectx.cmp``, which looks at data only.
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('real_A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['sym_A'])"
  False (no-eol)

A naive use of filecmp on those two would wrongly return True, since it follows
the symlink to "A", which has different contents.
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('real_A', 'sym_A')"
  True (no-eol)
