extensions: remove the inotify extension (BC)
This extension has always had correctness issues and has been
unmaintained for years. It is now removed in favor of the third-party
hgwatchman which is maintained and appears to be correct.
Users with inotify enabled in their config files will fall back to
standard status performance.
Test how largefiles abort in case the disk runs full

The largefile is not created in .hg/largefiles:
$ ls .hg/largefiles
dirstate
The user cache is not even created:
>>> import os; os.path.exists("$HOME/.cache/largefiles/")
False
Make the commit with space on the device:
$ hg commit -m big
Now make a clone with a full disk, and make sure lfutil.link function
makes copies instead of hardlinks:
$ cd ..
$ hg --config extensions.criple=$TESTTMP/criple.py clone --pull alice bob
