debugshell: allow commands to be specified as a CLI argument Add a `--command` option to `hg debugshell` that allows the user to pass in Python code to evaluate directly from the command line. This was inspired by the `--command` option present in Facebook's Sapling fork of Mercurial, which in turn was inspired by the `-c` option of the Python interpreter itself. It is particularly useful for writing tests, especially for getting visibility into things that otherwise aren't exposed via debug commands.

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).
