context: remove uses of manifest.matches

This removes the uses of manifest.matches in context.py in favor of the new
manifest.diff(match) api. This is part of removing manifest.matches since it is
O(manifest).

To drop the dependency on ctx._manifestmatches(s) we transfer responsibilty for
creating status oriented manifests over to ctx._buildstatusmanifest(s). This
already existed for workingctx, we just need to implement a simple version for
basectx. The old _manifestmatches functionality is basically identical to the
_buildstatusmanifest functionality (minus the matching part), so no behavior
should be lost.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
