setdiscover: allow to ignore part of the local graph

Currently, the push discovery first determines the full set of common nodes
before looking into what changesets are outgoing. When pushing a specific
subset, this can lead to pathological situations where we search for the status
of thousand of local heads that are unrelated to the requested pushes.

To fix this, we need to teach the discovery to ignores part of the graph. Most
of the necessary pieces were already in place. This changeset just makes them
available to higher level API and tests them.

Change actually impacting pushes are coming in a later changeset.

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).
