remotenames: add functionality to store remotenames under .hg/hgremotenames/

This patch moves the functionality from remotenames extension to store
remotenames to core.

Storage format used by remotenames extension:

A single file `.hg/remotenames` with an entry in each line where each line is of
format:
`node nametype remotepath/name`
where nametype is either 'bookmarks' or 'branches'.

This was not the best way to store data, so while moving to core the storage
format was changed but yet not the final format. The storage format used by core
after this patch will be:

* A file for each type of name i.e. bookmarks and branches in .hg/remotenames/
  directory
* A version number on the top of the file. The version for current format is 0.
* An entry in each line where each line is of the format
`node\0remotepath\0name`

The logic to sync with existing remotenames file and saving journals and other
related things will be moved to core in next patches incrementally.

Thanks to Ryan, Augie and Durham for suggestions on storage format.

# In most cases, the mercurial repository can be read by the bundled hg, but
# that isn't always true because third-party extensions may change the store
# format, for example. In which case, the system hg installation is used.
#
# We want to use the hg version being tested when interacting with the test
# repository, and the system hg when interacting with the mercurial source code
# repository.
#
# The mercurial source repository was typically orignally cloned with the
# system mercurial installation, and may require extensions or settings from
# the system installation.

    (
        syshgenv
        exec hg "$@"

# Revert the environment so that running "hg" runs the system hg
# rather than the test hg installation.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution markers
# created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests may be run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not enable evolution
# markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not enable evolution
# markers, hg will occasionally complain when it notices them, which disrupts
# tests resulting in sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the test-repo, there's
# no harm in telling hg that we support evolution markers, which is what the
# following lines for the hgrc file do:
cat >> "$HGRCPATH" << EOF
[experimental]
evolution = createmarkers
EOF

# Use the system hg command if the bundled hg can't read the repository with
# no warning nor error.
