profiling: don't error with statprof when profiling has already started statprof.reset() asserts if profiling has already started. So don't call if it profiling is already running.

profiling: add a context manager that no-ops if profiling isn't enabled And refactor dispatch.py to use it. As you can see, the resulting code is much simpler. I was tempted to inline _runcommand as part of writing this series. However, a number of extensions wrap _runcommand. So keeping it around is necessary (extensions can't easily wrap runcommand because it calls hooks before and after command execution).

profiling: make profiling functions context managers (API) This makes profiling more flexible since we can now call multiple functions when a profiler is active. But the real reason for this is to enable a future consumer to profile a function that returns a generator. We can't do this from the profiling function itself because functions can either be generators or have return values: they can't be both. So therefore it isn't possible to have a generic profiling function that can both consume and re-emit a generator and return a value.

dispatch: set profiling.enabled when profiling is enabled We do this for other global command arguments. We don't for --profile for reasons that are unknown to me. Probably because nobody has needed it. An upcoming patch will introduce a new consumer of the profiling code. It doesn't have access to command line arguments. So let's set the config option during argument processing. We also remove a check for "options['profile']" because it is now redundant.

profiling: move profiling code from dispatch.py (API) Currently, profiling code lives in dispatch.py, which is a low-level module centered around command dispatch. Furthermore, dispatch.py imports a lot of other modules, meaning that importing dispatch.py to get at profiling functionality would often result in a module import cycle. Profiling is a generic activity. It shouldn't be limited to command dispatch. This patch moves profiling code from dispatch.py to the new profiling.py. The low-level "run a profiler against a function" functions have been moved verbatim. The code for determining how to invoke the profiler has been extracted to its own function. I decided to create a new module rather than stick this code elsewhere (such as util.py) because util.py is already quite large. And, I foresee this file growing larger once Facebook's profiling enhancements get added to it.

pycompat: avoid using an extra function We have a single line function which just lowercase the letters and replaces "_" with "". Its better to avoid that function call. Moreover we calling this function around 33 times.

pycompat: remove multiple occurences of urlencode By mistake we had two occurences of urlencode.

osx: stamp the hg version into the version field in the pkg This is required for tools like https://github.com/munki/munki, and is also more semantically correct.

performance: disable workaround for an old bug of Python gc Since disabling the gc does things worse for pypy and the bug was fixed in 2.7, let's only enable it in <2.7
