revset: move tagging of alias arguments from tokenization to parsing phase
In short, this patch moves the hack from tokenizedefn() to _relabelaliasargs(),
which is called after parsing. This change aims to eliminate tight dependency
on the revset tokenizer.
Before this patch, we had to rewrite an alias argument to a pseudo function:
"$1" -> "_aliasarg('$1')"
('symbol', '$1') -> ('function', ('symbol', '_aliasarg'), ('string', '$1'))
This was because the tokenizer must generate tokens that are syntactically
valid. By moving the process to the parsing phase, we can assign a unique tag
to an alias argument.
('symbol', '$1') -> ('_aliasarg', '$1')
Since new _aliasarg node never be generated from a user input, we no longer
have to verify a user input at findaliases(). The test for _aliasarg("$1") is
removed as it is syntactically valid and should pass the parsing phase.
