verify: replace _validpath() by matcher
The verifier calls out to _validpath() to check if it should verify
that path and the narrowhg extension overrides _validpath() to tell
the verifier to skip that path. In treemanifest repos, the verifier
calls the same method to check if it should visit a
directory. However, the decision to visit a directory is different
from the condition that it's a matching path, and narrowhg was working
around it by returning True from its _validpath() override if *either*
was true.
Similar to how one can do "hg files -I foo/bar/ -X foo/" (making the
include pointless), narrowhg can be configured to track the same
paths. In that case match("foo/bar/baz") would be false, but
match.visitdir("foo/bar/baz") turns out to be true, causing verify to
fail. This may seem like a bug in visitdir(), but it's explicitly
documented to be undefined for subdirectories of excluded
directories. When using treemanifests, the walk would not descend into
foo/, so verification would pass. However, when using flat manifests,
there is no recursive directory walk and the file path "foo/bar/baz"
would be passed to _validpath() without "foo/" (actually without the
slash) being passed first. As explained above, _validpath() would
return true for the file path and "hg verify" would fail.
Replacing the _validpath() method by a matcher seems like the obvious
fix. Narrowhg can then pass in its own matcher and not have to
conflate the two matching functions (for dirs and files). I think it
also makes the code clearer.
