context: use a the nofsauditor when matching file in history (issue4749)

Before this change, asking for file from history (eg: 'hg cat -r 42 foo/bar')
could fail because of the current content of the working copy (eg: current
"foo" being a symlink). As the working copy state have no influence on the
content of the history, we can safely skip these checks.

The working copy context class have a different 'match'
implementation. That implementation still use the repo.auditor will
still catch symlink traversal.

I've audited all stuff calling "match" and they all go through a ctx
in a sensible way. The most unclear case was diff which still seemed
okay. You raised my paranoid level today and I double checked through
tests. They behave properly.

The odds of someone using the wrong (matching with a changectx for
operation that will eventually touch the file system) is non-zero
because you are never sure of what people will do. But I dunno if we
can fight against that. So I would not commit to "never" for "at this
level" and "in the future" if someone write especially bad code.

However, as a last defense, the vfs itself is running path auditor in
all cases outside of .hg/. So I think anything passing the 'matcher'
for buggy reason would growl at the vfs layer.
