ssl: extract function that returns dummycert path on Apple python This function will be the condition to switch DISABLEOSXDUMMYCERT in test-https.t.

largefiles: don't create chain of __contains__ calls Matt Harbison pointed out that my recent 2720f967a7b1 might cause __contains__ to continously get replaced by another version that calls itself, since the manifest instance returned by the super method is always the same instance due to @propertycache. He also suggested replacing the class instead, as is done with the context class in the surrounding code. Do so.

lazymanifest: don't depend on printf's 'hh' format to work Where we convert a 20-byte binary to a 40-byte hex string in lazymanifest_setitem(), we use sprintf("%02hhx", hash[i]). As Matt Harbison found out, 'hh' seems to be ignored on some platforms (Visual Studio?). If char is signed on such platforms, the value gets sign-extended as it gets promoted into an int when passed into the variadic sprintf(). The resulting integer value will then be printed with leading f's (14 of them on 64-bit systems), since the '2' in the format string indicates only minimum number of characters. This is both incorrect and runs the risk of writing outside of allocated memory (as Matt reported). To fix, let's cast the value to unsigned char before passing it to sprintf(). Also drop the poorly supported 'hh' formatting that now becomes unnecessary.

bundle2: test hooking using the new transaction-level hook There is no strong reason to keep a bundle2-level hook as we can use the transaction-level hook.

hook: add a generic hook right before we commit a transaction We are adding a 'txnclose' hook that will be run right before a transaction is closed. Hooks running at that time will have access to the full transaction content through both 'hookargs' content and on-disk reading. They will be able to abort the transaction.

transaction: add a validation stage The 'transaction' object can now be fed a 'validator' function. This function will be run right before the transaction is closed to validate its content. The target usage is hooks. The validation function is expected to raise an exception when it wants to abort the transaction. This only introduce the idea with a default no-op validator. Actual usage is in the next changeset.

hook: add a generic hook after transaction has been closed We are adding generic hooking for all transactions. We may have useful information about what happened during the transaction, user of the transaction should have filled the 'hookargs' dictionnary of the transaction. This hook is simple because it has no power to rollback the transaction.

hook: have a generic hook for transaction opening We are adding generic hooking for all transactions. We do not really have any useful information to include when opening the transaction but this is a useful time to allow a hook anyway. We better let people abort transaction before they happen than after multiple seconds/minutes of processing.
