merge: cache unknown dir checks (issue5716)

As mentioned in D1222, the recent pathconflicts change regresses update
performance in large repositories when many files are being updated.

To mitigate this, we introduce two caches of directories that have
already found to be either:

  - unknown directories, but which are not aliased by files and
    so don't need to be checked if they are files again; and

  - missing directores, which cannot cause path conflicts, and
    cannot contain a file that causes a path conflict.

When checking the paths of a file, testing against this caches means we can
skip tests that involve touching the filesystem.

test merging things outside of the sparse checkout

  $ hg init myrepo
  $ cd myrepo
  $ cat > .hg/hgrc <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > sparse=
  > EOF

  $ echo foo > foo
  $ echo bar > bar
  $ hg add foo bar
  $ hg commit -m initial

  $ hg branch feature
  marked working directory as branch feature
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ echo bar2 >> bar
  $ hg commit -m 'feature - bar2'

  $ hg update -q default
  $ hg debugsparse --exclude 'bar**'

  $ hg merge feature
  temporarily included 1 file(s) in the sparse checkout for merging
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

Verify bar was merged temporarily

  $ ls
  bar
  foo
  $ hg status
  M bar

Verify bar disappears automatically when the working copy becomes clean

  $ hg commit -m "merged"
  cleaned up 1 temporarily added file(s) from the sparse checkout
  $ hg status
  $ ls
  foo

  $ hg cat -r . bar
  bar
  bar2

Test merging things outside of the sparse checkout that are not in the working
copy

  $ hg strip -q -r . --config extensions.strip=
  $ hg up -q feature
  $ touch branchonly
  $ hg ci -Aqm 'add branchonly'

  $ hg up -q default
  $ hg debugsparse -X branchonly
  $ hg merge feature
  temporarily included 2 file(s) in the sparse checkout for merging
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
