chg: do not write pidfile
Current pidfile logic will only keep the pid of the newest server, which is
not very useful if we want to kill all servers, and will become outdated if
the server auto exits after being idle for too long.
Besides, the server-side pidfile writing logic runs before chgserver gets
confighash so it's not trivial to append confighash to pidfile basename like
we did for socket file.
This patch removes --pidfile from the command starting chgserver and switches
to an alternative way (unlink socket file) to stop the server.

chg: remove manual reload logic
chgserver now validates and reloads configs automatically. Manually reloading
is no longer necessary. Besides, we are deprecating pid files since the server
will periodically check its ownership of the socket file and exit if it does
not own the socket file any longer, which works more reliable than a pid file.
This patch removes the SIGHUP reload logic from both chg server and client.

chg: use --daemon-postexec chdir:/ instead of --cwd /
The chgserver is designed to load repo config from current directory. "--cwd /"
will prevent chgserver from loading repo config and generate a wrong
confighash, which will result in a redirect loop. This patch removes "--cwd /"
and uses "--daemon-postexec chdir:/" instead.

serve: add chdir command for --daemon-postexec
For chgserver, it probably needs a chdir to /. This patch adds chdir command
support for --daemon-postexec so chg client can make use of it.

serve: accept multiple values for --daemon-postexec
The next patch will add another postexec command: chdir, which can be used
together with unlink. This patch changes the option type of --daemon-postexec
from string to list to accept multiple commands. The error message of invalid
--daemon-postexec value is also changed to include the actual invalid value.

hgext: officially turn 'hgext' into a namespace package
Actually since Python 2.3, there is some way to turn top level package into
"namespace package" so that multiple subpackage installed in different part of
the path can still be imported transparently. This feature was previously
thought (at least by myself) to be only provided by some setuptool black magic.
Turning hgext into such namespace package allows third extensions to install
themselves inside the "hgext" namespace package to avoid polluting the global
python module namespace. They will now be able to do so without making it a pain
to use a Mercurial "installed" in a different way/location than these
extensions.
The only constrains is that the extension ship a 'hgext/__init__.py' containing
the same call to 'pkgutil.extend_path' and nothing else. This seems realistic.
The main question that remains is: should we introduce a dedicated namespace for
third party extension (hgext3rd?) to make a clearer distinction between what is
officially supported and what is not? If so, this will be introduced in a follow
up patch.
