dispatch: handle IOError when writing to stderr

Previously, attempts to write to stderr in dispatch.run() may lead to
an exception being thrown. This would likely be handled by Python's
default exception handler, which would print the exception and exit
1.

Code in this function is already catching IOError for stdout failures
and converting to exit code 255 (-1 & 255 == 255). Why we weren't
doing the same for stderr for the sake of consistency, I don't know.
I do know that chg and hg diverged in behavior here (as the changed
test-basic.t shows).

After this commit, we catch I/O failure on stderr and change the
exit code to 255. chg and hg now behave consistently. As a bonus,
Rust hg also now passes this test.

I'm skeptical at changing the exit code due to failures this late
in the process. I think we should consider preserving the current
exit code - assuming it is non-0. And, we may want to preserve the
exit code completely if the I/O error is EPIPE (and potentially
other special error classes). There's definitely room to tweak
behavior. But for now, let's at least prevent the uncaught exception.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D1860

Create a repository:

  $ hg config
  devel.all-warnings=true
  devel.default-date=0 0
  extensions.fsmonitor= (fsmonitor !)
  largefiles.usercache=$TESTTMP/.cache/largefiles
  lfs.usercache=$TESTTMP/.cache/lfs
  ui.slash=True
  ui.interactive=False
  ui.mergemarkers=detailed
  ui.promptecho=True
  web.address=localhost
  web\.ipv6=(?:True|False) (re)
  $ hg init t
  $ cd t

Prepare a changeset:

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a

  $ hg status
  A a

Writes to stdio succeed and fail appropriately

#if devfull
  $ hg status 2>/dev/full
  A a

  $ hg status >/dev/full
  abort: No space left on device
  [255]
#endif

#if devfull
  $ hg status >/dev/full 2>&1
  [255]

  $ hg status ENOENT 2>/dev/full
  [255]
#endif

  $ hg commit -m test

This command is ancient:

  $ hg history
  changeset:   0:acb14030fe0a
  tag:         tip
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     test
  

Verify that updating to revision 0 via commands.update() works properly

  $ cat <<EOF > update_to_rev0.py
  > from mercurial import ui, hg, commands
  > myui = ui.ui.load()
  > repo = hg.repository(myui, path='.')
  > commands.update(myui, repo, rev=0)
  > EOF
  $ hg up null
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ $PYTHON ./update_to_rev0.py
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg identify -n
  0


Poke around at hashes:

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a

  $ hg cat a
  a

Verify should succeed:

  $ hg verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  1 files, 1 changesets, 1 total revisions

At the end...

  $ cd ..
