partial-merge: add support for `.args` config (`$local` etc.)

It will be useful to be able to define custom command-line arguments
per partial merge tool just like we have for regular merge tools. In
particular, I expect the same binary to handle multiple languages, so
it will be useful to be able to pass some argument indicating the
language, or perhaps simply an argument defining a regex that's used
for finding lines to merge as a sorted set.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
