revlog: recommit 49fd21f32695 with a fix for issue6528 `filelog.size` currently special cases two forms of metadata encoding: - copy data via the parent order as flag bit - censor data by peaking into the raw delta All other forms of metadata encoding including the empty metadata block are mishandled. In `basefilectx.cmp` the empty metadata block is explicitly checked to compensate for this. Restore 49fd21f32695, but disable it for filelog, so that the original flag bit use contines to work. Document all this mess for now in preparation of a proper rework. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11203

merge-lists: make it possible to specify pattern to match The `merge-lists` tool doesn't know anything about Python other than its regex that attempts to match import lines. Let's make it possible to pass in a custom regex so it's easy to use the tool for e.g. C/C++ `#include` lines or Rust `use` lines (given the limited).

contrib: add a partial-merge tool for sorted lists (such as Python imports) This is a pretty naive tool that uses a regular expression for matching lines. It is based on a Google-internal tool that worked in a similar way. For now, the regular expression is hard-coded to attempt to match single-line Python imports. The only commit I've found in the hg core repo where the tool helped was commit 9cd6292abfdf. I think that's because we often use multiple imports per import statement. I think this tool is still a decent first step (especially once the regex is made configurable in the next patch). The merging should ideally use a proper Python parser and do the merge at the AST (or CST?) level, but that's significantly harder, especially if you want to preserve comments and whitespace. It's also less generic. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12380

tests: stop excluding the pycompat module from pyflakes I assume this was skipped because of all of the py2 stuff causing a lot of spew. The "unused" imports are left in place in case any 3rd party stuff is using it. I don't care about most of it, but TortoiseHg uses `io` and `queue`, so minimally I'd like to keep those.

util: drop a duplicate import This was already imported several lines above. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12421

pycompat: drop the pickle import I suspect this is what df56e6bd37f6 meant to eliminate. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12420

util: restore the util.pickle symbol This was accidently dropped in df56e6bd37f6, which started importing pickle directly. That commit explicitly says it will retain it for compatibility with external stuff though. The unused import in pycompat isn't flagged because that module is skipped. Just importing with a comment seemed cleaner than `import X as Y` and then assigning to a `pickle` variable, just to avoid the pyflakes warning.
