admin-command: add verify command

Start using the 'admin' namespace by adding a 'verify' command.
Invocation is 'admin::verify'.
The idea is to progressively add more focused checks than the existing
verify command.
To do so we need an advanced way to express what we want to check.

The first check for admin::verify is 'working-copy.dirstate' which has
no options, because it was an easy first check to implement, which
verifies the integrity of the dirstate.

This changeset was created with the help of Franck Bret.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
