ignore: separate pattern extraction from match compilation

hgignore files have slightly different syntax from match objects,
e.g. syntax: foo headers, regexp: forms, and re being relre. Put
conversion from hgignore syntax into match syntax into a standalone
function so that it is easier to validate hgignore hunks externally.
