localrepo: move some vfs initialization out of __init__

In order to make repository types more dynamic, we'll need to move the
logic for determining repository behavior out of
localrepository.__init__ so we can influence behavior before the type
is instantiated.

This commit starts that process by moving working directory and .hg/
vfs initialization to our new standalone function for instantiating
local repositories.

Aside from API changes, behavior should be fully backwards compatible.

.. api::

   localrepository.__init__ now does less work and accepts new args

   Use ``hg.repository()``, ``localrepo.instance()``, or
   ``localrepo.makelocalrepository()`` to obtain a new local repository
   instance instead of calling the ``localrepository`` constructor
   directly.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
