localrepo: document and test bug around opening shared repos As part of refactoring this code, I realized that we don't validate the requirements of a shared repository. This commit documents that next to the requirements validation code and adds a test demonstrating the buggy behavior. I'm not sure if I'll fix this. But it is definitely a bug that users could encounter, as LFS, narrow, and potentially other extensions dynamically add requirements on first use. One part of this I'm not sure about is how to handle loading the .hg/hgrc of the shared repo. We need to do that in order to load extensions. But we don't want that repo's hgrc to overwrite the current repo's. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4572

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).
