copies: make _checkcopies handle simple renames in a rotated DAG This introduces a distinction between "merge base" and "topological common ancestor". During a regular merge, these two are identical. Graft, however, performs a merge in a rotated DAG, where the merge base will not be a common ancestor at all in the original DAG. To correctly find copies in case of a graft, we need to take both the merge base and the topological CA into account, and track any renames between them in reverse. Fortunately we can detect this in advance, see comment in the code about "backwards". This patch only supports finding non-divergent renames contained entirely between the merge base and the topological CA. Further patches are coming to support more complex cases. (Pierre-Yves David was involved in the cleanup of this patch.)

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
