copy: add flag for disabling copy tracing

Copy tracing can be up to 80% of rebase time when rebasing stacks of commits in
large repos (hundreds of thousands of files).  This provides the option of
turning off the majority of copy tracing. It does not turn off _forwardcopies()
since that is used to carry copy information inside a commit across a rebase.

This will affect the situation where a user edits a file, then rebases on top of
commits that have moved that file. The move will not be detected and the user
will have to manually resolve the issue (possibly by redoing the rebase with
this flag off).

The reason to have a flag instead of trying to fix the actual copy tracing
performance is that copy tracing is fundamentally an O(number of files in the
repo) operation.  In order to know if file X in the rebase source was copied
anywhere, we have to walk the filelog for every new file that exists in the
rebase destination (i.e. a file in the destination that is not in the common
ancestor).  Without an index that lets us trace forward (i.e. from file Y in the
common ancestor forward to the rebase destination), it will never be an O(number
of changes in my branch) operation.

In mozilla-central, rebasing a 3 commit stack across 20,000 revs goes from 39s
to 11s.
