Summary:
The NameSet is something similar to SpanSet and Mercurial's smartset but speaks
VertexNames instead of Ids. The idea is, NameSet will be part of NameDag APIs,
and potentially replace Mercurial's smartset layer (just smartset the container
types, not the revset language), in a way that revision numbers are completely
hidden behind the scenes.
This diff adds some basic abstraction around iteration-related operations.
Other operations will be added later.

Any native code (C/C++/Rust) that Mercurial (either core or extensions)
depends on should go here. Python code, or native code that depends on
Python code (e.g. #include <Python.h> or use cpython) is disallowed.
As we start to convert more of Mercurial into Rust, and write new paths
entrirely in native code, we'll want to limit our dependency on Python, which is
why this barrier exists.
See also hgext/extlib/README.md, mercurial/cext/README.mb.
How do I choose between lib and extlib (and cext)?
If your code is native and doesn't depend on Python (awesome!), it goes here.
Otherwise, put it in hgext/extlib (if it's only used by extensions) or
mercurial/cext (if it's used by extensions or core).
