The proposed syntax [1] was originally 'set{n rel}', but it seemed slightly
confusing if template is involved. On the other hand, we want to keep 'set[n]'
for future extension. So this patch introduces 'set#rel[n]' ternary operator.
I chose '#' just because it looks like applying an attribute.
This also adds stubs for 'set[n]' and 'set#rel' operators since these syntax
elements are fundamental for constructing 'set#rel[n]'.

Previously repo.anyrevs only expand aliases in [revsetalias] config. This
patch makes it more flexible to accept a customized dict defining aliases
without having to couple with ui.
revsetlang.expandaliases now has the signature (tree, aliases, warn=None)
which is more consistent with templater.expandaliases. revsetlang.py is now
free from "ui", which seems to be a good thing.
New revsetlang module hosts parser, tokenizer, and miscellaneous functions
working on parsed tree. It does not include functions for evaluation such as
getset() and match().

get*() functions are aliased since they are common in revset.py.
