copies-rust: rename Oracle.is_ancestor to Oracle.is_overwrite

The core information that we want here is about "does information from revision
X overwrite information in Y". To do so, we check is X is an ancestors of Y, but
this is an implementation details, they could be other ways. We update the
naming to clarify this (and align more with wording used in upcoming changesets.

For people curious about other ways: for example we could record the overwrite
graph as it happens and reuse that to check if X overwrite Y, without having to
do potential expensive `is_ancestor` call on the revision graph.

Address commentary in manifest.excludedmanifestrevlog.add -
specifically we should improve the collaboration with core so that
add() never gets called on an excluded directory and we can improve
the stand-in to raise a ProgrammingError.

Reason more completely about rename-filtering logic in
narrowfilelog. There could be some surprises lurking there.

Formally document the narrowspec format. For bonus points, unify with the
server-specified narrowspec format.

narrowrepo.setnarrowpats() or narrowspec.save() need to make sure
they're holding the wlock.

The follinwg places do an unrestricted dirstate walk (including files outside the
narrowspec). Some of them should perhaps not do that.
