convert: use manifest.diff() instead of ctx.status()

mercurial_source.getchanges() seems to care about files whose nodeid
has changed even if their contents has not (i.e. it has been
reverted/backed out). The method uses ctx1.status(ctx2) to find
differencing files. However, that method is currently broken and
reports reverted changes as modified. In order to fix that method, we
first need to rewrite getchanges() using manifest.diff(), which does
report reverted files as modified (because it's about differences in
the manifest, so about nodeids).

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
