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.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF

  $ hg init repo1
  $ cd repo1

Make some commits:

  $ for i in 1 2 3; do
  >   echo $i >> a
  >   hg commit -A a -m "commit $i" -q
  > done

absorb --edit-lines will run the editor if filename is provided:

  $ hg absorb --edit-lines --apply-changes
  nothing applied
  [1]
  $ HGEDITOR=cat hg absorb --edit-lines --apply-changes a
  HG: editing a
  HG: "y" means the line to the right exists in the changeset to the top
  HG:
  HG: /---- 4ec16f85269a commit 1
  HG: |/--- 5c5f95224a50 commit 2
  HG: ||/-- 43f0a75bede7 commit 3
  HG: |||
      yyy : 1
       yy : 2
        y : 3
  nothing applied

Edit the file using --edit-lines:

  $ cat > editortext << EOF
  >       y : a
  >      yy :  b
  >      y  : c
  >     yy  : d  
  >     y y : e
  >     y   : f
  >     yyy : g
