revset: introduce _parsealiasdefn to parse alias definitions strictly

This patch introduces "_parsealiasdefn" to parse alias definitions
strictly. For example, it can avoid problems below, which current
implementation can't.

  - the shorter name argument breaks referring the longer name one in
    the definition, if the former is completely prefix of the latter

    for example, the alias definition "foo($1, $10) = $1 or $10" is
    parsed as "_aliasarg('$1') or _aliasarg('$1')0" and causes parse
    error, because tail "0" of "_aliasarg('$1')0" is invalid.

  - argument names in the quoted string are broken

    for example, the definition "foo($1) = $1 or desc('$1')" is parsed
    as "_aliasarg('$1') or desc('_aliasarg(\'$1\')')" and causes
    unexpected description matching against not '$1' but '_aliasarg(\'$1\')'.

To decrease complication of patch, current implementation for alias
definitions is replaced by "_parsealiasdefn" in the subsequent
patch. This patch just introduces it.

This patch defines "_parsealiasdefn" not as a method of "revsetalias"
class but as a one of "revset" module, because of ease of testing by
doctest.

#require no-symlink

# The following script was used to create the bundle:
#
# hg init symlinks
# cd symlinks
# echo a > a
# mkdir d
# echo b > d/b
# ln -s a a.lnk
# ln -s d/b d/b.lnk
# hg ci -Am t
# hg bundle --base null ../test-no-symlinks.hg

Extract a symlink on a platform not supporting them

  $ hg init t
  $ cd t
  $ hg pull -q "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-no-symlinks.hg"
  $ hg update
  4 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cat a.lnk && echo
  a
  $ cat d/b.lnk && echo
  d/b

Copy a symlink and move another

  $ hg copy a.lnk d/a2.lnk
  $ hg mv d/b.lnk b2.lnk
  $ hg ci -Am copy
  $ cat d/a2.lnk && echo
  a
  $ cat b2.lnk && echo
  d/b

Bundle and extract again

  $ hg bundle --base null ../symlinks.hg
