run-tests: allow to register any arbitrary pattern for replacement

We add a 'common-pattern.py' file that allow to define extra pattern. This seems
a cleaner approach than editing the 'run-test.py' file over and over. In
addition allowing arbitrary pattern registration will also help extension.

The format used is a python file is picked out of convenience defining a list of
tuple in 'substitutions' variable. This is picked out of convenience since it is
dead simple to implement.

The end goal is to register more pattern for Mercurial test. There are multiple
common patterns that change over time. That impact is annoying. Using pattern
emplacement for them would be handy.

The next patches will define all the needed patterns and the last patch will
mass-update the tests outputs as it was easier to do in a single pass.

# In most cases, the mercurial repository can be read by the bundled hg, but
# that isn't always true because third-party extensions may change the store
# format, for example. In which case, the system hg installation is used.
#
# We want to use the hg version being tested when interacting with the test
# repository, and the system hg when interacting with the mercurial source code
# repository.
#
# The mercurial source repository was typically orignally cloned with the
# system mercurial installation, and may require extensions or settings from
# the system installation.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution markers
# created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests may be run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not enable evolution
# markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not enable evolution
# markers, hg will occasionally complain when it notices them, which disrupts
# tests resulting in sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the test-repo, there's
# no harm in telling hg that we support evolution markers, which is what the
# following lines for the hgrc file do:
cat >> "$HGRCPATH" << EOF
[experimental]
evolution = createmarkers
EOF

# Use the system hg command if the bundled hg can't read the repository with
# no warning nor error.
