parsers: a C implementation of the new ancestors algorithm

The performance of both the old and new Python ancestor algorithms
depends on the number of revs they need to traverse.  Although the
new algorithm performs far better than the old when revs are
numerically and topologically close, both algorithms become slow
under other circumstances, taking up to 1.8 seconds to give answers
in a Linux kernel repo.

This C implementation of the new algorithm is a fairly straightforward
transliteration.  The only corner case of interest is that it raises
an OverflowError if the number of GCA candidates found during the
first pass is greater than 24, to avoid the dual perils of fixnum
overflow and trying to allocate too much memory.  (If this exception
is raised, the Python implementation is used instead.)

Performance numbers are good: in a Linux kernel repo, time for "hg
debugancestors" on two distant revs (24bf01de7537 and c2a8808f5943)
is as follows:

  Old Python: 0.36 sec
  New Python: 0.42 sec
  New C: 0.02 sec

For a case where the new algorithm should perform well:

  Old Python: 1.84 sec
  New Python: 0.07 sec
  New C: measures as zero when using --time

(This commit includes a paranoid cross-check to ensure that the
Python and C implementations give identical answers. The above
performance numbers were measured with that check disabled.)

/*
 mpatch.c - efficient binary patching for Mercurial

 This implements a patch algorithm that's O(m + nlog n) where m is the
 size of the output and n is the number of patches.

 Given a list of binary patches, it unpacks each into a hunk list,
 then combines the hunk lists with a treewise recursion to form a
 single hunk list. This hunk list is then applied to the original
 text.

 The text (or binary) fragments are copied directly from their source
 Python objects into a preallocated output string to avoid the
 allocation of intermediate Python objects. Working memory is about 2x
 the total number of hunks.
