cmdutil: add "autoupdate" to create the hook point for automated updating

Before this patch, code paths extending update behavior (largefiles
extension, for example) does below for automated updating:

  - wrap "merge.update" or so

    This may not be enough to know about updating. For example, it is
    impossible to know whether an invocation is an automated one or
    not via wrapping.

  - wrap functions implying "merge.update" or so

    This may conflict with "cmdutil.autocommit" framework introduced
    by previous patch (e.g. "hg graft" implies both committing and
    updating).

    In addition to it, wrapper and wrappee are associated tightly by
    this kind of wrapping. This increases maintenace cost at changing
    wrapper and/or wrappee.

This patch adds "autoupdate" to create the hook point for automated
updating and avoid problems above.
