match: introduce nevermatcher for when no ignore files are present 952017471f93 introduced a deterministic `__repr__` for ignores. However, it didn't account for when ignore was `util.never`. This broke fsmonitor's ignore change detection -- with an empty hgignore, it would kick in all the time. Introduce `nevermatcher` and switch to it. This neatly parallels `alwaysmatcher`.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

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).
