linelog: fix infinite loop vulnerability

Checking `len(lines)` is not a great way of detecting infinite loops, as
demonstrated in the added test. Therefore check instruction count instead.

The original C implementation does not have this problem. There are a few
other places where the C implementation enforces more strictly, like
`a1 <= a2`, `b1 <= b2`, `rev > 0`. But they are optional.

Test Plan:
Add a test. The old code forces the test to time out.

  $ hg init
  $ echo This is file a1 > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m "commit #0"
  $ ls
  a
  $ echo This is file b1 > b
  $ hg add b
  $ hg commit -m "commit #1"
  $ hg co 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

B should disappear

  $ ls
