revset: use localrepo revbranchcache for branch name filtering

Branch name filtering in revsets was expensive. For every rev it created a
changectx and called .branch() which retrieved the branch name from the
changelog.

Instead, use the revbranchcache.

The revbranchcache is used read-only. The revset implementation with generators
and callbacks makes it hard to figure out when we are done using/updating the
cache and could write it back. It would also be 'tricky' to lock the repo for
writing from within a revset execution. Finally, the branchmap update will
usually make sure that the cache is updated before any revset can be run.
The revbranchcache is used without any locking but is short-lived and used in a
tight loop where we can assume that the changelog doesn't change ... or where
it not is relevant to us if it does.

perfrevset 'branch(mobile)' on mozilla-central.
Before:
! wall 10.989637 comb 10.970000 user 10.940000 sys 0.030000 (best of 3)
After, no cache:
! wall 7.368656 comb 7.370000 user 7.360000 sys 0.010000 (best of 3)
After, with cache:
! wall 0.528098 comb 0.530000 user 0.530000 sys 0.000000 (best of 18)

The performance improvement even without cache come from being based on
branchinfo on the changelog instead of using ctx.branch().

Some tests are added to verify that the revbranchcache works and keep an eye on
when the cache files actually are updated.

#require symlink

Create extension that can disable symlink support:

  $ cat > nolink.py <<EOF
  > from mercurial import extensions, util
  > def setflags(orig, f, l, x):
  >     pass
  > def checklink(orig, path):
  >     return False
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'setflags', setflags)
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'checklink', checklink)
  > EOF

  $ hg init unix-repo
  $ cd unix-repo
  $ echo foo > a
  $ ln -s a b
  $ hg ci -Am0
  adding a
  adding b
  $ cd ..

Simulate a checkout shared on NFS/Samba:

  $ hg clone -q unix-repo shared
  $ cd shared
  $ rm b
  $ echo foo > b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py status --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Make a clone using placeholders:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py clone . ../win-repo
  updating to branch default
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd ../win-repo
  $ cat b
  a (no-eol)
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug

Empty placeholder:

  $ rm b
  $ touch b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Write binary data to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this is a binary\0')
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Write a long string to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this' * 1000)
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Commit shouldn't succeed:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
  nothing changed
  [1]

Write a valid string to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this')
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  M b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
  $ hg manifest tip --verbose
  644   a
  644 @ b

  $ cd ..
