test-check-code: do not use xargs We have too many files, and passing them via arguments could cause strange errors on some platforms [1]. Since check-code.py can now take "-" and read file names from stdin, use it instead of xargs to avoid the argv size limit.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
