Optimize node-to-node localrepo.status.

Templating with {file_mods}/{file_adds}/{file_dels} calls this a lot. For a
large repo like NetBeans main, the command used by the Hudson plugin for
Mercurial to calculate its changelog can take a long time. Some simple
optimizations can reduce this overhead by around 26%, though it is still far
slower than using only {files}, since localrepo.status() is not cheap.
(Issue3415 may be another manifestation of the same problem.)

1. Introduce match.always() to check if a match object always says yes, i.e.
None was passed in. If so, mfmatches should not bother iterating every file in
the repository.

2. Introduce manifestdict.withflags() to get a set of all files which have any
flags set, since these are likely to be a minority. Otherwise checking .flags()
for every file is a lot of dictionary lookups and is quite slow.
