build: for the bootstrap phase of a deb/rpm build pure-py mercurial is enough
When bootstrapping a deb/rpm build, packagelib.sh starts performing a local
build for the sole purpose of parsing the output of "hg version".
Then it "hg archive"s the source code, and builds everything again.
For that initial step, we are perfectly good in using a pure python mercurial,
without compiling the c modules (base85, bdiff, zstdlib, ...).
On my personal system, this cuts down 22 seconds for a package build (the
bootstrapping build goes from ~30 to ~8 seconds).

Build a repo with some cacheable bits:
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
$ hg tag t1
$ hg book -i bk1
$ hg branch -q b2
$ hg ci -Am1
$ hg tag t2
$ echo dumb > dumb
$ hg ci -qAmdumb
$ hg debugobsolete b1174d11b69e63cb0c5726621a43c859f0858d7f
obsoleted 1 changesets
$ hg phase -pr t1
$ hg phase -fsr t2
Make a helper function to check cache damage invariants:
- command output shouldn't change
- cache should be present after first use
- corruption/repair should be silent (no exceptions or warnings)
- cache should survive deletion, overwrite, and append
- unreadable / unwriteable caches should be ignored
- cache should be rebuilt after corruption
$ damage() {
> CMD=$1
> CACHE=.hg/cache/$2
> CLEAN=$3
> hg $CMD > before
> test -f $CACHE || echo "not present"
> echo bad > $CACHE
> test -z "$CLEAN" || $CLEAN
> hg $CMD > after
> "$RUNTESTDIR/pdiff" before after || echo "*** overwrite corruption"

Beat up tags caches:
$ damage "tags --hidden" tags2
$ damage tags tags2-visible
$ damage "tag -f t3" hgtagsfnodes1
Beat up branch caches:
$ damage branches branch2-base "rm .hg/cache/branch2-[vs]*"
$ damage branches branch2-served "rm .hg/cache/branch2-[bv]*"
$ damage branches branch2-visible
$ damage "log -r branch(.)" rbc-names-v1
$ damage "log -r branch(default)" rbc-names-v1
$ damage "log -r branch(b2)" rbc-revs-v1
We currently can't detect an rbc cache with unknown names:
$ damage "log -qr branch(b2)" rbc-names-v1
