dirstate: remove the python-side whitelist of allowed matchers

This whitelist is too permissive because it allows matchers that contain
disallowed ones deep inside, for example through `intersectionmatcher`.

It is also too restrictive because it doesn't pass through
some of the matchers we support, such as `patternmatcher`.

It's also unnecessary because unsupported matchers raise
`FallbackError` and we fall back anyway.

Making this change makes more of the tests use rust code path,
and therefore subtly change behavior. For example, rust status
in largefiles repos seems to have strange behavior.

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

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).
