rust: switch hg-core and hg-cpython to rust 2018 edition
Many interesting changes have happened in Rust since the Oxidation Plan was
introduced, like the 2018 edition and procedural macros:
- Opting in to the 2018 edition is a clear benefit in terms of future
proofing, new (nice to have) syntactical sugar notwithstanding. It
also has a new non-lexical, non-AST based borrow checker that has
fewer bugs(!) and allows us to write correct code that in some cases
would have been rejected by the old one.
- Procedural macros allow us to use the PyO3 crate which maintainers have
expressed the clear goal of compiling on stable, which would help in
code maintainability compared to rust-cpython.
In this patch are the following changes:
- Removing most `extern crate` uses
- Updating `use` clauses (`crate` keyword, nested `use`)
- Removing `mod.rs` in favor of an aptly named module file
Like discussed in the mailing list (
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2019-July/132316.html
), until Rust integration in Mercurial is considered to be out of the
experimental phase, the maximum version of Rust allowed is whatever the latest
version Debian packages.

$ hg init a

Record help
$ hg record -h
hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
interactively select changes to commit
If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by 'hg status' will be
candidates for recording.
See 'hg help dates' for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
If using the text interface (see 'hg help config'), you will be prompted
for whether to record changes to each modified file, and for files with
multiple changes, for each change to use. For each query, the following
responses are possible:
y - record this change
n - skip this change
e - edit this change manually
s - skip remaining changes to this file
f - record remaining changes to this file
d - done, skip remaining changes and files
a - record all changes to all remaining files
q - quit, recording no changes
? - display help
This command is not available when committing a merge.
(use 'hg help -e record' to show help for the record extension)
options ([+] can be repeated):
-A --addremove mark new/missing files as added/removed before
committing
--close-branch mark a branch head as closed
--amend amend the parent of the working directory
-s --secret use the secret phase for committing
-e --edit invoke editor on commit messages
-I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
-X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
-m --message TEXT use text as commit message
-l --logfile FILE read commit message from file
-d --date DATE record the specified date as commit date
-u --user USER record the specified user as committer
-S --subrepos recurse into subrepositories
-w --ignore-all-space ignore white space when comparing lines
-b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
-B --ignore-blank-lines ignore changes whose lines are all blank
-Z --ignore-space-at-eol ignore changes in whitespace at EOL
(some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
