tests: use the system hg for examining the local repository

Most test scripts use "hg" to interact with a temporary test repository.
However a few tests also want to run hg commands to interact with the local
repository containing the mercurial source code.  Notably, many of the
test-check-* tests want to check local files and commit messages.

These tests were previously using the version of hg being tested to query the
source repository.  However, this will fail if the source repository requires
extensions or other settings not supported by the version of mercurial being
tested.  The source repository was typically initially cloned using the system
hg installation, so we should use the system hg installation to query it.

There was already a helpers-testrepo.sh script designed to help cope with
different requirements for the source repository versus the test repositories.
However, it only handled the evolve extension.  This new behavior works with
any extensions that are different between the system installation and the test
installation.

No arguments shows available views

  $ hg init empty
  $ cd empty
  $ hg show
  available views:
  
  bookmarks -- bookmarks and their associated changeset
  work -- changesets that aren't finished
  
  abort: no view requested
  (use "hg show VIEW" to choose a view)
  [255]

`hg help show` prints available views

  $ hg help show
  hg show VIEW
  
  show various repository information
  
      A requested view of repository data is displayed.
  
      If no view is requested, the list of available views is shown and the
      command aborts.
  
      Note:
         There are no backwards compatibility guarantees for the output of this
         command. Output may change in any future Mercurial release.
  
         Consumers wanting stable command output should specify a template via
         "-T/--template".
  
      List of available views:
  
      bookmarks   bookmarks and their associated changeset
  
      work        changesets that aren't finished
  
  (use 'hg help -e show' to show help for the show extension)
  
  options:
  
   -T --template TEMPLATE display with template
  
  (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)

Unknown view prints error

  $ hg show badview
  abort: unknown view: badview
  (run "hg show" to see available views)
  [255]

HGPLAIN results in abort

  $ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks
  abort: must specify a template in plain mode
  (invoke with -T/--template to control output format)
  [255]

But not if a template is specified

  $ HGPLAIN=1 hg show bookmarks -T '{bookmark}\n'
  (no bookmarks set)

  $ cd ..

bookmarks view with no bookmarks prints empty message

  $ hg init books
  $ cd books
  $ touch f0
  $ hg -q commit -A -m initial

  $ hg show bookmarks
  (no bookmarks set)

bookmarks view shows bookmarks in an aligned table

  $ echo book1 > f0
  $ hg commit -m 'commit for book1'
  $ echo book2 > f0
  $ hg commit -m 'commit for book2'

  $ hg bookmark -r 1 book1
  $ hg bookmark a-longer-bookmark

  $ hg show bookmarks
  * a-longer-bookmark    7b570
    book1                b757f

A custom bookmarks template works

  $ hg show bookmarks -T '{node} {bookmark} {active}\n'
  7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83 a-longer-bookmark True
  b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0 book1 False

bookmarks JSON works

  $ hg show bookmarks -T json
  [
   {
    "active": true,
    "bookmark": "a-longer-bookmark",
    "longestbookmarklen": 17,
    "node": "7b5709ab64cbc34da9b4367b64afff47f2c4ee83"
   },
   {
    "active": false,
    "bookmark": "book1",
    "longestbookmarklen": 17,
    "node": "b757f780b8ffd71267c6ccb32e0882d9d32a8cc0"
   }
  ]

JSON works with no bookmarks

  $ hg book -d a-longer-bookmark
  $ hg book -d book1
  $ hg show bookmarks -T json
  [
  ]

  $ cd ..
