mercurial: be more strict about loading dual implemented modules
With this change in place, we should have slightly stronger guarantees
about how modules with both Python and C implementations are loaded.
Before, our module loader's default policy looked under both mercurial/*
and mercurial/pure/* and imported whatever it found, C or pure. The fact
it looked in both locations by default was a temporary regression from
the beginning of this series.
This patch does 2 things:
1) Changes the default module load policy to only load C modules
2) Verifies that files loaded from mercurial/* are actually C modules
This 2nd behavior change makes our new module loading mechanism
stricter than from before this series. Before, it was possible to load
a .py-based module from mercurial/*. This could happen if an old
installation orphaned a file and then somehow didn't install the C
version for the new install. We now detect this odd configuration
and fall back to loading the pure Python module, assuming it is
allowed. In the case of a busted installation, we fail fast. While
we could fall back, we explicitly decide not to do this because
we don't want people accidentally not running the C modules and having
slow performance as a result.

setup: refactor handling of modules with C/Python implementations
Previously, .py files under mercurial/pure/ were copied to mercurial/*
during installation if we were performing a pure Python installation.
Now that the new import hooks and module load policy are in place, this
hackery from the past is no longer necessary.
With this patch, we stop copying modules from mercurial/pure/* to
mercurial/*. Instead, we preserve the files at their original
hierarchy, mirroring the source repository structure.
In addition, we always install the pure modules. Before, we would only
include the pure modules in the distribution/installation if the
install-time settings requested a pure Python installation. The upside
of this change is that CPython and PyPy can run from the same Mercurial
installation, making packaging and distribution of Mercurial simpler.
The inclusion of pure Python modules in the installation sounds
risky, as it could lead to inadvertent loading of non-C modules.
This shouldn't be a problem. The default module load policy is "C
only" (or at least will be shortly) and the only way to load pure
modules from an installation is if a) pure installation was requested
b) the HGMODULELOADPOLICY overrides the requirement for C modules.
The default module load policy as defined in source is a special string
whose default value from the checkout is equivalent to the "C only"
policy (again, not exactly the state right now). For pure
installations, this default policy is not appropriate and will not
work. This patch adds support for rewriting __init__.py during
installation to reflect the module load policy that should be in
place accoding to the installation settings. For default CPython
installs, the value in the source file will change but there will
be no functional change. For pure installations, the default policy
will be set to "py," allowing them to work without having to set
environment variables.

check-seclevel: set module load policy to Python only
If we don't change this, the upcoming change to make the module
loading policy only load C modules will cause this script to fail if
run with CPython against an unbuilt source checkout.

mercurial: implement import hook for handling C/Python modules
There are a handful of modules that have both pure Python and C
extension implementations. Currently, setup.py copies files from
mercurial/pure/*.py to mercurial/ during the install process if C
extensions are not available. This way, "import mercurial.X" will
work whether C extensions are available or not.
This approach has a few drawbacks. First, there aren't run-time checks
verifying the C extensions are loaded when they should be. This could
lead to accidental use of the slower pure Python modules. Second, the
C extensions aren't compatible with PyPy and running Mercurial with
PyPy requires installing Mercurial - you can't run ./hg from a source
checkout. This makes developing while running PyPy somewhat difficult.
This patch implements a PEP-302 import hook for finding and loading the
modules with both C and Python implementations. When a module with dual
implementations is requested for import, its import is handled by our
import hook.
The importer has a mechanism that controls what types of modules we
allow to load. We call this loading behavior the "module load policy."
There are 3 settings:
* Only load C extensions
* Only load pure Python
* Try to load C and fall back to Python
An environment variable allows overriding this policy at run time. This
is mainly useful for developers and for performing actions against the
source checkout (such as installing), which require overriding the
default (strict) policy about requiring C extensions.
The default mode for now is to allow both. This isn't proper and is
technically backwards incompatible. However, it is necessary to
implement a sane patch series that doesn't break the world during
future bisections. The behavior will be corrected in future patch.
We choose the main mercurial/__init__.py module for this code out of
necessity: in a future world, if the custom module importer isn't
registered, we'll fail to find/import certain modules when running
from a pure installation. Without the magical import-time side-effects,
*any* importer of mercurial.* modules would be required to call a
function to register our importer. I'm not a fan of import time side
effects and I initially attempted to do this. However, I was foiled by
our own test harness, which has numerous `python` invoked scripts that
"import mercurial" and fail because the importer isn't registered.
Realizing this problem is probably present in random Python scripts
that have been written over the years, I decided that sacrificing
purity for backwards compatibility is necessary. Plus, if you are
programming Python, "import" should probably "just work."
It's worth noting that now that we have a custom module loader, it
would be possible to hook up demand module proxies at this level
instead of replacing __import__. We leave this work for another time,
if it's even desired.
This patch breaks importing in environments where Mercurial modules
are loaded from a zip file (such as py2exe distributions). This will
be addressed in a subsequent patch.

changegroup: note during bundle apply if the repo was empty
An upcoming change for exchanging treemanifest data will need to
update the repository capabilities, which we should only do if the
repository was empty before we started applying this changegroup. In
the future we will probably need a strategy for upgrading to
treemanifest in requires during a pull (I'm assuming at some point
we'll make it possible to have a flag day to enable treemanifests on
an existing history.)

graphlog: make node symbol templatable by ui.graphnodetemplate option
New ui.graphnodetemplate option allows us to colorize a node symbol by phase

[ui]
graphnodetemplate = {label('graphnode.{phase}', graphnode)}

graphnode.draft = yellow bold
or use a variety of unicode emoji characters, and so on. (You'll need less-481

This provides a default node symbol. Tests will be added later.
"showparents" variable is renamed to "wpnodes" to avoid confusion with the
