localrepo: iteratively derive local repository type

This commit implements the dynamic local repository type derivation
that was explained in the recent commit
bfeab472e3c0 "localrepo: create new function for instantiating a local
repo object."

Instead of a static localrepository class/type which must be customized
after construction, we now dynamically construct a type by building up
base classes/types to represent specific repository interfaces.

Conceptually, the end state is similar to what was happening when
various extensions would monkeypatch the __class__ of newly-constructed
repo instances. However, the approach is inverted. Instead of making
the instance then customizing it, we do the customization up front
by influencing the behavior of the type then we instantiate that
custom type.

This approach gives us much more flexibility. For example, we can
use completely separate classes for implementing different aspects
of the repository. For example, we could have one class representing
revlog-based file storage and another representing non-revlog based
file storage. When then choose which implementation to use based on
the presence of repo requirements.

A concern with this approach is that it creates a lot more types
and complexity and that complexity adds overhead. Yes, it is true that
this approach will result in more types being created. Yes, this is
more complicated than traditional "instantiate a static type." However,
I believe the alternatives to supporting alternate storage backends
are just as complicated. (Before I arrived at this solution, I had
patches storing factory functions on local repo instances for e.g.
constructing a file storage instance. We ended up having a handful
of these. And this was logically identical to assigning custom
methods. Since we were logically changing the type of the instance,
I figured it would be better to just use specialized types instead
of introducing levels of abstraction at run-time.)

On the performance front, I don't believe that having N base classes
has any significant performance overhead compared to just a single base
class. Intuition says that Python will need to iterate the base classes
to find an attribute. However, CPython caches method lookups: as long as
the __class__ or MRO isn't changing, method attribute lookup should be
constant time after first access. And non-method attributes are stored
in __dict__, of which there is only 1 per object, so the number of
base classes for __dict__ is irrelevant.

Anyway, this commit splits up the monolithic completelocalrepository
interface into sub-interfaces: 1 for file storage and 1 representing
everything else.

We've taught ``makelocalrepository()`` to call a series of factory
functions which will produce types implementing specific interfaces.
It then calls type() to create a new type from the built-up list of
base types.

This commit should be considered a start and not the end state. I
suspect we'll hit a number of problems as we start to implement
alternate storage backends:

* Passing custom arguments to __init__ and setting custom attributes
  on __dict__.
* Customizing the set of interfaces that are needed. e.g. the
  "readonly" intent could translate to not requesting an interface
  providing methods related to writing.
* More ergonomic way for extensions to insert themselves so their
  callbacks aren't unconditionally called.
* Wanting to modify vfs instances, other arguments passed to __init__.

That being said, this code is usable in its current state and I'm
convinced future commits will demonstrate the value in this approach.

# reproduce issue2264, issue2516

create test repo
  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [extensions]
  > transplant =
  > EOF
  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ template="{rev}  {desc|firstline}  [{branch}]\n"

# we need to start out with two changesets on the default branch
# in order to avoid the cute little optimization where transplant
# pulls rather than transplants
add initial changesets
  $ echo feature1 > file1
  $ hg ci -Am"feature 1"
  adding file1
  $ echo feature2 >> file2
  $ hg ci -Am"feature 2"
  adding file2

# The changes to 'bugfix' are enough to show the bug: in fact, with only
# those changes, it's a very noisy crash ("RuntimeError: nothing
# committed after transplant").  But if we modify a second file in the
# transplanted changesets, the bug is much more subtle: transplant
# silently drops the second change to 'bugfix' on the floor, and we only
# see it when we run 'hg status' after transplanting.  Subtle data loss
# bugs are worse than crashes, so reproduce the subtle case here.
