debugcommands: introduce actions to perform deterministic reads
"readavailable" is useful as a debugging device to see what data is
available on a pipe. But the mechanism isn't deterministic because
what's available on a pipe is highly conditional on timing, system
load, OS behavior, etc. This makes it not suitable for tests.
We introduce "ereadline," "read," and "eread" for performing
deterministic I/O operations (at least on blocking file descriptors).
We stop short of converting existing consumers of "readavailable"
in tests because we're working out race conditions and deadlocks
on Windows. But the goal is to eventually move tests away from
"readavailable" to these new APIs.

Corrupt an hg repo with two pulls.
create one repo with a long history
$ hg init source1
$ cd source1
$ touch foo
$ hg add foo
$ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
> echo $i >> foo
> hg ci -m $i
> done
$ cd ..
create one repo with a shorter history
$ hg clone -r 0 source1 source2

updating to branch default
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
$ cd source2
$ echo a >> foo
$ hg ci -m a
$ cd ..
create a third repo to pull both other repos into it
$ hg init corrupted
$ cd corrupted
use a hook to make the second pull start while the first one is still running
$ echo '[hooks]' >> .hg/hgrc
$ echo 'prechangegroup = sleep 5' >> .hg/hgrc
start a pull...
$ hg pull ../source1 > pull.out 2>&1 &
... and start another pull before the first one has finished
$ sleep 1
$ hg pull ../source2 2>/dev/null
