auto-upgrade: introduce a way to auto-upgrade to/from share-safe

This is the first "automatic-upgrade" capability. In the following commits,
similar features are coming for other "fast to upgrade" formats.

This is different from the `safe-mismatch.source-not-safe` and
`safe-mismatch.source-safe` configuration that deal with mismatch between a
share and its share-source. Here we are dealing with mismatch between a
repository configuration and its actual format.

We will need further work for cases were the repository cannot be locked. A
basic protection is in place to avoid  a infinite loop for now, but it will get
proper attention in a later changeset.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12611

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
