ssl: only use the dummy cert hack if using an Apple Python (issue4410)
The hack for using certificate store in addition to the provided CAs resides in
Apple's OpenSSL. Apple's own Pythons will use it, but other custom built
Pythons might use a custom built OpenSSL without that hack and will fail when
exposed to the dummy cacert introduced in d7f7f1860f00.
There do not seem to be a simple way to check from Python if we are using a
patched OpenSSL or if it is an Apple OpenSSL.
Instead, check if the Python executable resides in /usr/bin/python* or in
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ and assume that all Pythons found
there will be native Pythons using the patched OpenSSL.
Custom built Pythons will not get the benefit of using the CAs from the
certificate store.

cmdserver: include pid of server handling requests in hello message
Because unix-mode server forks child process per connection, client does not
know the pid of the server that will handle requests. The pid is necessary
to interrupt hung process:
1. client connects to socket server
2. server accepts the connection, forks, and tells pid
3. client requests "runcommand pull"
.. hung ..
4. client sends SIGINT to the (forked) server
5. server returns from I/O wait
Note that getsockopt(SO_PEERCRED) of Linux cannot be used because the server
fork()s after accept().

lock: while releasing, unlink lockfile even if the release function throws
Consider a hypothetical bug in the release function that causes it to raise an
exception. Also consider the bisect command, which saves its state in a finally
clause. Saving the state requires acquiring the wlock.
If we don't unlink the lockfile when the exception is thrown, we'll try to
acquire the wlock again. We're going to try and acquire a lock again while our
old lockfile is on disk. The PID on disk is our own, and of course we're still
running, so we won't take over the lock. Hence we'll be stuck waiting for a
lock that we left behind ourselves.
To avoid this, always unlink the lockfile. This preserves the invariant that
self.held > 0 is equivalent to the lockfile existing on disk.

bundle2: client side support for a part to import external bundles
Bundle2 opens doors to advanced features allowing to reduce load on
mercurial servers, and improve clone experience for users on unstable or
slow networks.
For instance, it could be possible to pre-generate a bundle of a
repository, and give a pointer to it to clients cloning the repository,
followed by another changegroup with the remainder. For significantly
big repositories, this could come as several base bundles with e.g. 10k
changesets, which, combined with checkpoints (not part of this change),
would prevent users with flaky networks from starting over any time
their connection fails.
While the server-side support for those features doesn't exist yet, it
is preferable to have client-side support for this early-on, allowing
experiments on servers only requiring a vanilla client with bundle2
enabled.

bundle2: change header size and make them signed (new format)
We are changing all integers that denote the size of a chunk to read to int32.
There are two main motivations for that.
First, we change everything to the same width (32 bits) to make it possible for
a reasonably agnostic actor to forward a bundle2 without any extra processing.
With this change, this could be achieved by just reading int32s and forwarding
chunks of the size read. A bit a smartness would be logic to detect the end of
stream but nothing too complicated.
Second, we need some capacity to transmit special information during the bundle
processing. For example we would like to be able to raise an exception while a
part is being read if this exception happend while this part was generated.
Having signed integer let us use negative numbers to trigger special events
during the parsing of the bundle.
The format is renamed for B2X to B2Y because this breaks binary
compatibility. The B2X format support is dropped. It was experimental to
allow this kind of things. All elements not directly related to the binary
format remain flagged "b2x" because they are still compatible.

transmit a exception raised during a part generation.

obsstore: record data as floating point in fm0 format
For python struct module, "d" is double. But for python string
formating, "d" is integer. We want to preserve the floating point
nature of the data, so we store it in the metadata as floating
point. We use "%r" to make sure we get as many significant digitis as
necessary to restore the float to the exact same value on the other

The fm1 is transmitting the information as float. The lack of this made
fm1-stored markers not survive a round-trip to fm0 leading to duplicated
markers (or two markers very alike).

revset-only: use __nonzero__ to check if a revset is empty
For some smartsets, computing length is more expensive than checking if the set
is empty.

_spanset: drop __getitem__ implementation
It is expensive and not part of the official smartset API.

revset: make __len__ part of the offical API
It is common for code to ask for the length of a revset. In fact, all but
generatorset already implement it.

cmdserver: add service that listens on unix domain socket and forks process
Typical use case of 'unix' mode is a background hg daemon.
$ hg serve --cmdserver unix --cwd / -a /tmp/hg-`id -u`.sock
Unlike 'pipe' mode in which parent process keeps stdio channel, 'unix' server
can be detached. So clients can freely connect and disconnect from server,
saving Python start-up time.
It might be better to write "--cmdserver socket -a unix:/sockpath" instead
of "--cmdserver unix -a /sockpath" in case hgweb gets the ability to listen
on unix domain socket.

The next patch will add connector for 'unix' mode server.

test-commandserver: remove unused repopath argument from check()
Instead of repopath, check() will receive connect() function as argument.
It will allow to connect to server of different mode.

cmdserver: make server streams switchable
In 'unix' mode, server instance will be created per connection, and fin/fout
are set to socket files.

cmdserver: switch service objects by mode
server class will be changed to accept fin/fout pair instead of mode string
so that it can interact with socket files.

cmdserver: wrap 'pipe' mode server by service object
This is the stub for new mode that will listen for connections on unix domain
socket.
Though --daemon option is not banned in 'pipe' mode, it is useless because
the detached 'pipe' mode server exits immediately due to null stdin. Should
it abort if --daemon is specified with --cmdserver pipe or --stdio?
