When one side of history renames a directory, and the other side of
history added files to the old directory, directory rename detection is
used to warn about the location of the added files so the user can
move them to the old directory or keep them with the new one.

This sets up three different types of directories:
  * directories that had new files added to them
  * directories underneath a directory that had new files added to them
  * directories where no new files were added to it or any leading path

Save this information in dirs_removed; the next several commits will
make use of this information.

Is this potentially a flag list? It's hard to tell because we don't
have another item (3 or 4?).

This comment seems to imply that RELEVANT_FOR_SELF is "more important"
than RELEVANT_FOR_ANCESTOR, so the value will just be changed (not a
flag).

Yes, using "RELEVANT_FOR_SELF" here, not "relevance | RELEVANT_FOR_SELF".
OK. This should make the later consumers simpler.
