scmutil: support background file closing
Closing files that have been appended to is relatively slow on
Windows/NTFS. This makes several Mercurial operations slower on
Windows.
The workaround to this issue is conceptually simple: use multiple
threads for I/O. Unfortunately, Python doesn't scale well to multiple
threads because of the GIL. And, refactoring our code to use threads
everywhere would be a huge undertaking. So, we decide to tackle this
problem by starting small: establishing a thread pool for closing
files.
This patch establishes a mechanism for closing file handles on separate
threads. The coordinator object is basically a queue of file handles to
operate on and a thread pool consuming from the queue.
When files are opened through the VFS layer, the caller can specify
that delay closing is allowed.
A proxy class for file handles has been added. We must use a proxy
because it isn't possible to modify __class__ on built-in types. This
adds some overhead. But as future patches will show, this overhead
is cancelled out by the benefit of closing file handles on background
threads.
