rhg: Add support for automatic fallback to Python

`rhg` is a command-line application that can do a small subset of what
`hg` can. It is written entirely in Rust, which avoids the cost of starting
a Python interpreter and importing many Python modules.
In a script that runs many `hg` commands, this cost can add up.

However making users decide when to use `rhg` instead of `hg` is
not practical as we want the subset of supported functionality
to grow over time.

Instead we introduce "fallback" behavior where, when `rhg` encounters
something (a sub-command, a repository format, …) that is not implemented
in Rust-only, it does nothing but silently start a subprocess of
Python-based `hg` running the same command.
That way `rhg` becomes a drop-in replacement for `hg` that sometimes
goes faster. Whether Python is used should be an implementation detail
not apparent to users (other than through speed).

A new `fallback` value is added to the previously introduced
`rhg.on-unsupported` configuration key. When in this mode, the new
`rhg.fallback-executable` config is determine what command to use
to run a Python-based `hg`.

The previous `rhg.on-unsupported = abort-silent` configuration was designed
to let a wrapper script call `rhg` and then fall back to `hg` based on the
exit code. This is still available, but having fallback behavior built-in
in rhg might be easier for users instead of leaving that script "as an
exercise for the reader".

Using a subprocess like this is not idea, especially when `rhg` is to be
installed in `$PATH` as `hg`, since the other `hg.py` executable needs
to still be available… somewhere. Eventually this could be replaced
by using PyOxidizer to a have a single executable that embeds a Python
interpreter, but only starts it when needed.

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

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"
  >  echo corruption >> $CACHE
  >  test -z "$CLEAN" || $CLEAN
  >  hg $CMD > after
  >  "$RUNTESTDIR/pdiff" before after || echo "*** append corruption"
  >  rm $CACHE
  >  mkdir $CACHE
  >  test -z "$CLEAN" || $CLEAN
  >  hg $CMD > after
  >  "$RUNTESTDIR/pdiff" before after || echo "*** read-only corruption"
  >  test -d $CACHE || echo "*** directory clobbered"
