tests: add tests of pathcopies()

I'm working on support for storing copy metadata in the changeset
instead of in the filelog. When storing it in the changeset, it will
obviously be efficient to get the copy metadata for all files in a
single changeset, but it will be more expensive to get the copy
metadata all revisions of a single file. Some algorithms will then
need to be optimized differently. The first method I'm going to
rewrite is pathcopies().

This commit adds many tests for pathcopies(), so we can run the tests
with both old and new versions of the code, as well as with metadata
stored in filelog or in changeset (later). They use the
debugpathcopies command I recently added (with no tests when it was
added). They show a few bugs and few cases of slightly weird
behavior. I'll fix the bugs in the next few commits.

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).
