Actually, it's easier to support these infix ops than erroring out, but I
don't want to make revset syntax more cryptic. "x- y" can't be handled by
this rule because "x-" is parsed as a parents expression.
Because a unary negation node '~y' is more primitive than the corresponding
difference node 'x~y', '~y' is easier to deal with while rewriting the tree.
That's the main reason to add RevsetExpression::NotIn node.
As we have a NotIn node, it makes sense to add an operator for that. This
patch reuses '~' token, which I feel intuitive since the other set operators
looks like bitwise ops. Another option is '!'.
The unary '~' operator has the highest precedence among the set operators,
but they are lower than the ranges. This might be counter intuitive, but
useful because a prefix range ':x' can be negated without parens.
Maybe we can remove the redundant infix operator 'x ~ y', but it isn't
decided yet.
Function parameters are processed as local symbols while substituting
alias expression. This isn't as efficient as Mercurial which caches
a tree of fully-expanded function template, but that wouldn't matter in
practice.
Let's acknowledge everyone's contributions by replacing "Google LLC"
in the copyright header by "The Jujutsu Authors". If I understand
correctly, it won't have any legal effect, but maybe it still helps
reduce concerns from contributors (though I haven't heard any
concerns).

Aliases are loaded at WorkspaceCommandHelper::new() as it's easier to warn
invalid declarations there. Not all commands use revsets, but many do, so
I think it's okay to always pay the loading cost. Parsing the declaration
part (i.e. a symbol) should be fast anyway.
The nested error message isn't super readable, but seems good enough.
Config syntax to bikeshed:
- naming: [revset-alias] vs [revset-aliases] ?
- function alias will need quotes: 'f(x)' = 'x'
I'm thinking of adding alias expansion at this stage, and it would be a bit
tedious to pass around mutable context by function parameter. So let's reduce
the number of the intermediate functions.
This also produces a better error message.
