lfs: import the Facebook git-lfs client extension

The purpose of this is the same as the built-in largefiles extension- to handle
huge files outside of the normal storage system, generally to keep the amount of
data cloned to a lower amount.  There are several benefits of implementing the
git-lfs protocol, instead of using the largefiles extension:

  - Bitbucket and Github support (and probably wider support in 3rd party
    hosting sites in general). [1][2]

  - The number of hg internals monkey patched are several orders of magnitude
    lower, so it will be easier to reason about and maintain.  Future commands
    will likely just work, without requiring various wrappers.

  - The "standin" files are only written to the filelog, not the disk.  That
    should avoid weird edge cases where the largefile and standin files get out
    of sync. [3]  It also avoids the occasional printing of the "hidden" standin
    file in various messages.

  - Filesets like size() will work, even if the file isn't present.  (It always
    says 41 bytes for largefiles, whether present or not.)

The only place that I see where largefiles comes out on top is that it works
with `hg serve` for simple sharing, without external infrastructure.  Getting
lfs-test-server working was a hassle, and took awhile to figure out.  Maybe we
can do something to make it work in the future.

Long term, I expect that this will be highly preferred over largefiles.  But if
we are to recommend this to largefile users, there are some UI issues to
bikeshed.  Until they are resolved, I've marked this experimental, and am not
putting a pointer to this in the largefiles help.  The (non exhaustive) list of
issues I've seen so far are:

  - It isn't sufficient to just enable the largefiles extension- you have to
    explicitly add a file with --large before it will pay attention to the
    configured sizes and patterns on future adds.  The justification being that
    once you use it, you're stuck with it.  I've seen people confused by this,
    and haven't liked it myself.  But it's also saved me a few times.  Should we
    do something like have a specific enabling config setting that must be set
    in the local repo config, so that enabling this extension in the user or
    system hgrc doesn't silently start storing lfs files?

  - The largefiles extension adds a repo requirement when the first largefile is
    committed, so that the extension must always be enabled in the future.  This
    extension is not doing that, and since I only enabled it locally to avoid
    infecting other repos, I got a cryptic error about missing flag processors
    when I cloned.  Is there no repo requirement due to shallow/narrow clone
    considerations (or other future advanced things)?

  - In the (small amount of) reading I've done about the git implementation, it
    seems that the files and sizes are stored in a tracked .gitattributes file.
    I think a tracked file for this would be extremely useful for consistency
    across developers, but this kind of touches on the tracked hgrc file
    proposal a few months back.

  - The git client can specify file patterns, not just sizes.

  - The largefiles extension has a cache directory in the local repo, but also a
    system wide one.  We should probably implement a system wide cache too, so
    that multiple clones don't have to refetch the files from the server.

  - Jun mentioned other missing features, like SSH authentication, gc, etc.

The code corresponds to c0492b73c7ef in hg-experimental. [4]  The only tweaks
are to load the extension in the tests with 'lfs=' instead of
'lfs=$TESTDIR/../hgext3rd/lfs', change the import in the *.py test to hgext
(from hgext3rd), add the 'testedwith' declaration, and mark it experimental for
now.  The infinite-push, p4fastimport, and remotefilelog tests were left behind.

The devel-warnings for unregistered config options are not corrected yet, nor
are the import check warnings.

#require cvs112

This feature requires use of builtin cvsps!

  $ echo "[extensions]" >> $HGRCPATH
  $ echo "convert = " >> $HGRCPATH

create cvs repository with one project

  $ mkdir cvsrepo
  $ cd cvsrepo
  $ CVSROOT=`pwd`
  $ export CVSROOT
  $ CVS_OPTIONS=-f
  $ export CVS_OPTIONS
  $ cd ..
  $ rmdir cvsrepo
  $ cvscall()
  > {
  >     cvs -f "$@"
  > }

output of 'cvs ci' varies unpredictably, so just discard it

  $ cvsci()
  > {
  >     sleep 1
  >     cvs -f ci "$@" >/dev/null
  > }
  $ cvscall -d "$CVSROOT" init
  $ mkdir cvsrepo/proj
  $ cvscall -q co proj

create file1 on the trunk

  $ cd proj
  $ touch file1
  $ cvscall -Q add file1
  $ cvsci -m"add file1 on trunk" file1

create two branches

  $ cvscall -q tag -b v1_0
  T file1
  $ cvscall -q tag -b v1_1
  T file1

create file2 on branch v1_0

  $ cvscall -Q up -rv1_0
  $ touch file2
  $ cvscall -Q add file2
  $ cvsci -m"add file2" file2

create file3, file4 on branch v1_1

  $ cvscall -Q up -rv1_1
  $ touch file3
  $ touch file4
  $ cvscall -Q add file3 file4
  $ cvsci -m"add file3, file4 on branch v1_1" file3 file4

merge file2 from v1_0 to v1_1

  $ cvscall -Q up -jv1_0
  $ cvsci -m"MERGE from v1_0: add file2"
  cvs commit: Examining .

Step things up a notch: now we make the history really hairy, with
changes bouncing back and forth between trunk and v1_2 and merges
going both ways.  (I.e., try to model the real world.)
create branch v1_2

  $ cvscall -Q up -A
  $ cvscall -q tag -b v1_2
  T file1

create file5 on branch v1_2

  $ cvscall -Q up -rv1_2
  $ touch file5
  $ cvs -Q add file5
  $ cvsci -m"add file5 on v1_2"
  cvs commit: Examining .

create file6 on trunk post-v1_2

  $ cvscall -Q up -A
  $ touch file6
  $ cvscall -Q add file6
  $ cvsci -m"add file6 on trunk post-v1_2"
  cvs commit: Examining .

merge file5 from v1_2 to trunk

  $ cvscall -Q up -A
  $ cvscall -Q up -jv1_2 file5
  $ cvsci -m"MERGE from v1_2: add file5"
  cvs commit: Examining .

merge file6 from trunk to v1_2

  $ cvscall -Q up -rv1_2
  $ cvscall up -jHEAD file6
  U file6
  $ cvsci -m"MERGE from HEAD: add file6"
  cvs commit: Examining .
