worker: manually buffer reads from pickle stream

My previous fix (D8051, cb52e619c99e, which added Python's built-in buffering
to the pickle stream) has the problem that the selector will ignore the buffer.
When multiple pickled objects are read from the pipe into the buffer at once,
only one object will be loaded.

This can repeat until the buffer is full and delays the processing of completed
items until the worker exits, at which point the pipe is always considered
readable and all remaining items are processed.

This changeset reverts D8051, removing the buffer again. Instead, on Python 3
only, we use a wrapper to modify the "read" provided to the Unpickler to behave
more like a buffered read. We never read more bytes from the pipe than the
Unpickler requests, so the selector behaves as expected.

Also add a test case for "pickle data was truncated" issue.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8076

== New Features ==

 * Windows will process hgrc files in %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\hgrc.d.


== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==

 * The `indent()` template function was documented to not indent empty lines,
   but it still indented the first line even if it was empty. It no longer does
   that.

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==


== Internal API Changes ==

 * Matcher instances no longer have a `explicitdir` property. Consider
   rewriting your code to use `repo.wvfs.isdir()` and/or
   `ctx.hasdir()` instead. Also, the `traversedir` property is now
   also called when only `explicitdir` used to be called. That may
   mean that you can simply remove the use of `explicitdir` if you
   were already using `traversedir`.

 * The `revlog.nodemap` object have been merged into the `revlog.index` object.
   * `n in revlog.nodemap` becomes `revlog.index.has_node(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap[n]` becomes `revlog.index.rev(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap.get(n)` becomes `revlog.index.get_rev(n)`.

 * `copies.duplicatecopies()` was renamed to
   `copies.graftcopies()`. Its arguments changed from revision numbers
   to context objects. It also lost its `repo` and `skip` arguments
   (they should no longer be needed).
