chg: detect chg started by chg

Sometimes people may create a symbol link from hg to chg, or write a wrapper
script named hg calling chg. Without $HG and $CHGHG set, this will lead to
chg executes itself causing deadlock. The user will notice chg hangs for some
time and aborts with a timed out message, without knowing the root cause and
how to solve it.

This patch sets a dummy environment variable before executing hg to detect
this situation, and print a fatal message with some possible solutions.

CHGINTERNALMARK is set by chg client to detect the situation that chg is
started by chg. It is temporary and should be dropped to avoid possible
side effects.

#require no-symlink

# The following script was used to create the bundle:
#
# hg init symlinks
# cd symlinks
# echo a > a
# mkdir d
# echo b > d/b
# ln -s a a.lnk
# ln -s d/b d/b.lnk
# hg ci -Am t
# hg bundle --base null ../test-no-symlinks.hg

Extract a symlink on a platform not supporting them

  $ hg init t
  $ cd t
  $ hg pull -q "$TESTDIR/bundles/test-no-symlinks.hg"
  $ hg update
  4 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cat a.lnk && echo
  a
  $ cat d/b.lnk && echo
  d/b

Copy a symlink and move another

  $ hg copy a.lnk d/a2.lnk
  $ hg mv d/b.lnk b2.lnk
  $ hg ci -Am copy
  $ cat d/a2.lnk && echo
  a
  $ cat b2.lnk && echo
  d/b

Bundle and extract again

  $ hg bundle --base null ../symlinks.hg
