cext: correct the argument handling of `b85encode()`

The type stub indicated that this argument is `Optional`, which implies None is
allowed.  I don't see in the documentation where that's the case for `i`[1], and
trying it in `hg debugshell` resulted in the method failing with a TypeError.  I
guess it was typed as an `int` argument because the `p` format unit wasn't added
until Python 3.3[2].

In any event, 2 clients in core (`pvec` and `obsolete`) call this with no
argument supplied, and `mdiff` calls it with True.  So I guess we've avoided the
None arg case, and when no arg is supplied, it defaults to the 0 initialization
of the `pad` variable in C.  Since the `p` format unit accepts both `int` and
None, as well as `bool`, I'm not bothering to bump the module version- this code
is more permissive than it was, in addition to being more correct.

Interestingly, when I first imported the `cext` and `pure` methods in the same
manner as the previous commit, it dropped the `Optional` part of the argument
type when generating `util.pyi`.  No idea why.

Address commentary in manifest.excludedmanifestrevlog.add -
specifically we should improve the collaboration with core so that
add() never gets called on an excluded directory and we can improve
the stand-in to raise a ProgrammingError.

Reason more completely about rename-filtering logic in
narrowfilelog. There could be some surprises lurking there.

Formally document the narrowspec format. For bonus points, unify with the
server-specified narrowspec format.

narrowrepo.setnarrowpats() or narrowspec.save() need to make sure
they're holding the wlock.

The follinwg places do an unrestricted dirstate walk (including files outside the
narrowspec). Some of them should perhaps not do that.
