[issue2487] Add --ignored to hg forget to forget files

[Matthew Adams]

New submission from Matthew Adams <matthew at matthewadams.me>:

I accidentally committed files that I meant to ignore.  Then I tweaked my 
.hgignore so that it caught everything I wanted it to.  Next, I would have 
liked to say to hg "now forget everything that you're currently tracking but 
that my current .hgignore file says to ignore".  Can't do that.  Please add?

Syntax suggestion came from danchr on #mercurial.

Perhaps another command:  show me files that are currently tracked but that 
should be ignored according to my .hgignore. "hg stat --trackedandignored"?
