log: add a "graphwidth" template variable

Wrapping text in templates for 'hg log --graph' can't be done very well,
because the template doesn't know how wide the graph drawing is. The edge
drawing function needs to know the number of lines in the template output, so
we need to also determine how wide that drawing would be before we call the
edgefn or evaluate the template.

This patch makes edgefn compute the graph width and pass it into the template
so that we can do something like this:

COLUMNS=10 hg log --graph --template "{fill(desc, termwidth - graphwidth)}"
@  a a a a
|  a a a a
|  a a a a
o    a a a
|\   a a a
| |  a a a
| |  a a a

Using extensions to do this would be relatively complicated due to a lack of
hooks in this area of the code.

In the future it may make sense to have a more generic "textwidth" that tells
you how many columns you can expect to fill without causing the terminal to
wrap your output. I'm not sure there are other situations to motivate this yet,
or if it is entirely feasible.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
