The most significant slow component of "hg status" is parsing the
.hgignore file.  If we pass -mardc instead of -A to hg status, hg
doesn't list ignored or untracked files, so it skips parsing the
.hgignore.  On my large repo, this brings "hg status" from 140ms to
20ms.

For vc-hg-state, the distinction doesn't matter: nothing using the
output of vc-hg-state has significantly different behavior for ignored
files vs unregistered files:
- vc-dir-clean-files and vc-dir-recompute-file-state call vc-hg-state,
  but will never see an ignored file anyway since vc-dir shouldn't list
  ignored files for hg.
- vc-next-action checks 'ignored, but it's OK to take the
  'unregistered path instead; it will either fail when calling hg, or
  succeed.
- Other users of vc-state don't differ between 'ignored and
  'unregistered

* lisp/vc/vc-hg.el (vc-hg-state-slow): Treat ignored files as
unregistered.
