fix: allow fixer tools to return metadata in addition to the file content With this change, fixer tools can be configured to output a JSON object that will be parsed and passed to hooks that can be used to print summaries of what code was formatted or perform other post-fixing work. The motivation for this change is to allow parallel executions of a "meta-formatter" tool to report back statistics, which are then aggregated and processed after all formatting has completed. Providing an extensible mechanism inside fix.py is far simpler, and more portable, than trying to make a tool like this communicate through some other channel.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
