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.

"""erase file content at a given revision

The censor command instructs Mercurial to erase all content of a file at a given
revision *without updating the changeset hash.* This allows existing history to
remain valid while preventing future clones/pulls from receiving the erased
data.

Typical uses for censor are due to security or legal requirements, including::

 * Passwords, private keys, cryptographic material
 * Licensed data/code/libraries for which the license has expired
 * Personally Identifiable Information or other private data

Censored nodes can interrupt mercurial's typical operation whenever the excised
data needs to be materialized. Some commands, like ``hg cat``/``hg revert``,
simply fail when asked to produce censored data. Others, like ``hg verify`` and
``hg update``, must be capable of tolerating censored data to continue to
function in a meaningful way. Such commands only tolerate censored file
revisions if they are allowed by the "censor.policy=ignore" config option.

A few informative commands such as ``hg grep`` will unconditionally
ignore censored data and merely report that it was encountered.
