worker: avoid potential partial write of pickled data

Previously, the code wrote the pickled data using os.write(). However,
os.write() can write less bytes than passed to it. To trigger the problem, the
pickled data had to be larger than 2147479552 bytes on my system.

Instead, open a file object and pass it to pickle.dump(). This also has the
advantage that it doesn’t buffer the whole pickled data in memory.

Note that the opened file must be buffered because pickle doesn’t support
unbuffered streams because unbuffered streams’ write() method might write less
bytes than passed to it (like os.write()) but pickle.dump() relies on that all
bytes are written (see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93050).

The side effect of using a file object and a with statement is that wfd is
explicitly closed now while it seems like before it was implicitly closed by
process exit.

Testing recorded "modified" files for merge commit
==================================================

This file shows what hg says are "modified" files for a merge commit
(hg log -T {files}), somewhat exhaustively.

This file test multiple corner case.

For merges that involve files contents changing, check test-merge-combination-file-content.t

For merges that involve executable bit changing, check test-merge-combination-exec-bytes.t


Case with multiple or zero merge ancestors, copies/renames, and identical file contents
with different filelog revisions are not currently covered.

  $ . $TESTDIR/testlib/merge-combination-util.sh

Files modified or cleanly merged, with no greatest common ancestors:

  $ hg init repo; cd repo
  $ touch a0 b0; hg commit -qAm 0
  $ hg up -qr null; touch a1 b1; hg commit -qAm 1
  $ hg merge -qr 0; rm b*; hg commit -qAm 2
  $ hg log -r . -T '{files}\n'
  b0 b1
  $ cd ../
  $ rm -rf repo

A few cases of criss-cross merges involving deletions (listing all
such merges is probably too much). Both gcas contain $files, so we
expect the final merge to behave like a merge with a single gca
containing $files.

  $ hg init repo; cd repo
  $ files="c1 u1 c2 u2"
  $ touch $files; hg commit -qAm '0 root'
  $ for f in $files; do echo f > $f; done; hg commit -qAm '1 gca1'
  $ hg up -qr0; hg revert -qr 1 --all; hg commit -qAm '2 gca2'
  $ hg up -qr 1; hg merge -qr 2; rm *1; hg commit -qAm '3 p1'
  $ hg up -qr 2; hg merge -qr 1; rm *2; hg commit -qAm '4 p2'
  $ hg merge -qr 3; echo f > u1; echo f > u2; rm -f c1 c2
  $ hg commit -qAm '5 merge with two gcas'
  $ hg log -r . -T '{files}\n' # expecting u1 u2
  
  $ cd ../
  $ rm -rf repo
