formatter: add helper to create a formatter optionally backed by file

To make things simple, openformatter() and maybereopen() have no support
for a plain object API. Callers must use the "with" statement.

Unlike cmdutil.makefileobj(), append mode ('ab') isn't supported by these
functions. This is because JSON output can't be simply concatenated. Perhaps
cmdutil.export() will have to build a {filename: [revs...]} map first and
write revs per file.

Initialize remote repo with branches:

  $ hg init remote
  $ cd remote

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Ama
  adding a

  $ hg branch br
  marked working directory as branch br
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ hg ci -Amb

  $ echo c > c
  $ hg ci -Amc
  adding c

  $ hg log
