rust: do a clippy pass

This is the result of running `cargo clippy` on hg-core/hg-cpython and fixing
the lints that do not require too much code churn (and would warrant a separate
commit/complete refactor) and only come from our code (a lot of warnings in
hg-cpython come from `rust-cpython`).

Most of those were good lints, two of them was the linter not being smart
enough (or compiler to get up to `clippy`'s level depending on how you see it).

Maybe in the future we could have `clippy` be part of the CI.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8635

== New Features ==


== New Experimental Features ==

 * The core of some hg operations have been (and are being)
   implemented in rust, for speed. `hg status` on a repository with
   300k tracked files goes from 1.8s to 0.6s for instance.
   This has currently been tested only on linux, and does not build on
   windows. See rust/README.rst in the mercurial repository for
   instructions to opt into this.

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

* Mercurial now requires at least Python 2.7.9 or a Python version that
  backported modern SSL/TLS features (as defined in PEP 466), and that Python
  was compiled against a OpenSSL version supporting TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2
  (likely this requires the OpenSSL version to be at least 1.0.1).


== Internal API Changes ==

 * logcmdutil.diffordiffstat() now takes contexts instead of nodes.

 * The `mergestate` class along with some related methods and constants have
   moved from `mercurial.merge` to a new `mercurial.mergestate` module.
