tersestatus: re-implement the functionality to terse the status

The previous terse status implementation was hacking around os.listdir() and was
flaky. There have been a lot of instances of mercurial buildbots failing
and google's internal builds failing because of the
hacky implementation of terse status. Even though I wrote the last
implementation but it was hard for me to find the reason for the flake.

The new implementation can be slower than the old one but is clean and easy to
understand.

In this we create a node object for each directory and create a tree
like structure starting from the root of the working copy. While building the
tree like structure we store some information on the nodes which will be helpful
for deciding later whether we can terse the dir or not.
Once the whole tree is build we traverse and built the list of files for each
status with required tersing.

There is no behaviour change as the old test, test-status-terse.t passes with
the new implementation.

# In most cases, the mercurial repository can be read by the bundled hg, but
# that isn't always true because third-party extensions may change the store
# format, for example. In which case, the system hg installation is used.
#
# We want to use the hg version being tested when interacting with the test
# repository, and the system hg when interacting with the mercurial source code
# repository.
#
# The mercurial source repository was typically orignally cloned with the
# system mercurial installation, and may require extensions or settings from
# the system installation.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution markers
# created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests may be run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not enable evolution
# markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not enable evolution
# markers, hg will occasionally complain when it notices them, which disrupts
# tests resulting in sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the test-repo, there's
# no harm in telling hg that we support evolution markers, which is what the
# following lines for the hgrc file do:
cat >> "$HGRCPATH" << EOF
[experimental]
evolution = createmarkers
EOF

# Use the system hg command if the bundled hg can't read the repository with
# no warning nor error.
