verify: add a config option to skip certain flag processors

Previously, "hg verify" verifies everything, which could be undesirable when
there are expensive flag processor contents.

This patch adds a "verify.skipflags" developer config. A flag processor will
be skipped if (flag & verify.skipflags) == 0.

In the LFS usecase, that means "hg verify --config verify.skipflags=8192"
will not download all LFS blobs, which could be too large to be stored
locally.

Note: "renamed" is also skipped since its default implementation may call
filelog.data() which will trigger the flag processor.

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).
