commitctx: document the manifest writing function Same spirit as for `_filecommit` lets document the input and output before making any change or improvement. This is part of a larger refactoring/cleanup of the commitctx code to clarify and augment the logic gathering metadata useful for copy tracing. The current code is a tad too long and entangled to make such update easy. We start with easy and small cleanup. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8705

commitctx: reorder some conditional for efficiency in _filecommit Checking if a dict is empty will be faster than comparing text. I don't expect it to be a huge performance win, but still a good (but gratuitous) cleanup to do while we are at it. This is part of a larger refactoring/cleanup of the commitctx code to clarify and augment the logic gathering metadata useful for copy tracing. The current code is a tad too long and entangled to make such update easy. We start with easy and small cleanup. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8701

clonebundles: optional memory-requirement attribution The new REQUIREDRAM option allows a client to skip bundles it isn't expected to handle well, e.g. without swapping. This allows a fallback path to be provided e.g. using zstd level 10 instead of 22. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8645

util: provide a helper function to estimate RAM size For POSIX systems, it uses sysconf. For Windows, it uses the win32 API directly. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8644

documentation: add some internals documentation about bid merge This is an important algorithm that was only documented on the wiki so far. Some update to the algorithm (and associated doc) is to expected in the future since the bid merge algorithm is bug-ridden when it comes to file deletion comes to play.

cmdserver: document message-encodings and channel output options While writing the previous patch, I noticed these options are undocumented. In my testing, a separate status/error message channel works well in GUI frontend as we no longer have to sort out data and message from mixed outputs. So let's mark it as not experimental.

cmdserver: add option to not exit from message loop on SIGINT Sending SIGINT to server is the only way to interrupt a command running in command-server process. SIGINT will be caught at dispatch.dispatch() if we're lucky. Otherwise it will terminate the serer process. This is fundamentally unreliable as signals are delivered asynchronously. "cmdserver.shutdown-on-interrupt=False" mitigate the issue by making the server basically block SIGINT.
