narrow: intersect provided matcher with narrowmatcher in `hg diff`
This provides significant speedups when running diff, and no change in behavior
that I'm aware of (or that the tests found). I tested with a repo that I started
using narrow in after it was created and attempted to run `hg diff -c .` and
similar commands in it on a commit that had files not in the narrowspec.
Timing numbers below, using a similar setup as my previous commits.
before=9db85644, m-u is mozilla-unified at eb39298e432d (flatmanifest) and
0553b7f29eaf (treemanifest). l-d-r is a repo simulating a situation I've
encountered where there's one directory with 30k+ subdirectories. N means
narrow, T means treemanifest. The narrowspec is pretty small when in use, and
importantly the narrowspec is applied *after* doing the initial checkout
(without narrowing), so all of these files exist in the filesystem, which is not
normally the case if someone has been using narrow for the entire life of the
clone.
Anything less than a 5% difference in performance is most likely noise.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be used by GNU patch and many other standard tools. While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the following information: - executable status and other permission bits - copy or rename information - changes in binary files - creation or deletion of empty files Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this format. This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository (e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary format for communicating changes. To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff] section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
