copies: do not track backward copies, only renames (issue3739)

The inverse of a rename is a rename, but the inverse of a copy is not a copy.
Presenting it as such -- in particular, stuffing it into the same dict as real
copies -- causes bugs because other code starts believing the inverse copies
are real.

The only test whose output changes is test-mv-cp-st-diff.t. When a backwards
status -C command is run where a copy is involved, the inverse copy (which was
hitherto presented as a real copy) is no longer displayed.

Keeping track of inverse copies is useful in some situations -- composability
of diffs, for example, since adding "a" followed by an inverse copy "b" to "a"
is equivalent to a rename "b" to "a". However, representing them would require
a more complex data structure than the same dict in which real copies are also
stored.

  $ "$TESTDIR/hghave" inotify || exit 80
  $ hg init
  $ touch a b
  $ hg add a b
  $ rm b

status without inotify

  $ hg st
  A a
  ! b
  $ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ echo "inotify=" >> $HGRCPATH

inserve

  $ hg inserve -d --pid-file=hg.pid 2>&1
  $ cat hg.pid >> "$DAEMON_PIDS"

status

  $ hg st
  A a
  ! b
  ? hg.pid
  $ sleep 1

Are we able to kill the service? if not, the service died on some error

  $ kill `cat hg.pid`
