files: speed up `hg files` when no flags change display

It's not the first time I see slowness from this command slow down
tools built on top of hg.

The majority of the time is spent merely printing the result before
this change, which is clearly not how it should be (especially since
the computation of the result also looks slow).

Running `hg files` in mozilla-central:

parent revision: 1,260s
this commit: 0,683s
this commit without batching ui.write: 0,931s
this commit replacing the body of the loop with `pass`: 0,566s

This looks like a prime candidate for a rust fast path, but until
then, it seems reasonable to optimize the python.

# In most cases, the mercurial repository can be read by the bundled hg, but
# that isn't always true because third-party extensions may change the store
# format, for example. In which case, the system hg installation is used.
#
# We want to use the hg version being tested when interacting with the test
# repository, and the system hg when interacting with the mercurial source code
# repository.
#
# The mercurial source repository was typically orignally cloned with the
# system mercurial installation, and may require extensions or settings from
# the system installation.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution markers
# created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests may be run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not enable evolution
# markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not enable evolution
# markers, hg will occasionally complain when it notices them, which disrupts
# tests resulting in sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the test-repo, there's
# no harm in telling hg that we support evolution markers, which is what the
# following lines for the hgrc file do:
cat >> "$HGRCPATH" << EOF
