dirstate walking optimizations
The repo walking code introduces a number of calls to dirstate.map.copy(),
significantly slowing down the walk on large trees. When a list of
files is passed to the walking code, we should only look at map entries
relevant to the file list passed in.
dirstate.filterfiles() is added to return a subset of the dirstate map.
The subset includes in files passed in, and if one of the files requested
is actually a directory, it includes any files inside that directory tree.
This brings the time for hg diff Makefile down from 1.7s to .3s on
a linux kernel repo.
Also, the diff command was unconditionally calling makewalk, leading
to an extra pass through repo.changes. This patch avoids the call
to makewalk when commands.diff isn't given a list of patterns, cutting
the time for hg diff (with no args) in half.
