copies: make mergecopies() distinguish between copies on each side
I find it confusing that most of the dicts returned from
`mergecopies()` have entries specific to one branch of the merge, but
they're still combined into dict. For example, you can't tell if `copy
= {"bar": "foo"}` means that "foo" was copied to "bar" on the first
branch or the second.
It also feels like there are bugs lurking here because we may mistake
which side the copy happened on. However, for most of the dicts, it's
not possible that there is disagreement. For example, `renamedelete`
keeps track of renames that happened on one side of the merge where
the other side deleted the file. There can't be a disagreement there
(because we record that in the `diverge` dict instead). For regular
copies/renames, there can be a disagreement. Let's say file "foo" was
copied to "bar" on one branch and file "baz" was copied to "bar" on
the other. Beacause we only return one `copy` dict, we end up
replacing the `{"bar": "foo"}` entry by `{"bar": "baz"}`. The merge
code (`manifestmerge()`) will then decide that that means "both
renamed from 'baz'". We should probably treat it as a conflict
instead.
The next few patches will make `mergecopies()` return two instances of
most of the returned copies. That will lead to a bit more code (~40
lines), but I think it makes both `copies.mergecopies()` and
`merge.manifestmerge()` clearer.
