largefiles: use "summaryremotehooks" to avoid redundant outgoing check

Before this patch, "hg summary --remote --large" invokes
"findcommonoutgoing()" not only in "commands.summary()" but also in
"overrides.overridesummary()" (via "getoutgoinglfiles()"). The latter
is redundant.

This patch uses "summaryremotehooks" to avoid redundant outgoing check.

Newly introduced function "overrides.summaryremotehook()" is
registered into "summaryremotehooks" to get the result of outgoing
check in "commands.summary()".

It invokes "lfutil.getlfilestoupload()" directly with the result of
outgoing check to avoid redundant outgoing check in
"getoutgoinglfiles()".

Some commands allow the user to specify a date, e.g.:

- backout, commit, import, tag: Specify the commit date.
- log, revert, update: Select revision(s) by date.

Many date formats are valid. Here are some examples:

- ``Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006`` (local timezone assumed)
- ``Dec 6 13:18 -0600`` (year assumed, time offset provided)
- ``Dec 6 13:18 UTC`` (UTC and GMT are aliases for +0000)
- ``Dec 6`` (midnight)
- ``13:18`` (today assumed)
- ``3:39`` (3:39AM assumed)
- ``3:39pm`` (15:39)
- ``2006-12-06 13:18:29`` (ISO 8601 format)
- ``2006-12-6 13:18``
- ``2006-12-6``
- ``12-6``
- ``12/6``
- ``12/6/6`` (Dec 6 2006)
- ``today`` (midnight)
- ``yesterday`` (midnight)
- ``now`` - right now

Lastly, there is Mercurial's internal format:

- ``1165411109 0`` (Wed Dec 6 13:18:29 2006 UTC)

This is the internal representation format for dates. The first number
is the number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC). The
second is the offset of the local timezone, in seconds west of UTC
(negative if the timezone is east of UTC).

The log command also accepts date ranges:

- ``<DATE`` - at or before a given date/time
- ``>DATE`` - on or after a given date/time
- ``DATE to DATE`` - a date range, inclusive
- ``-DAYS`` - within a given number of days of today
