lfs: introduce a user level cache for lfs files

This is the same mechanism in place for largefiles, and solves several problems
working with multiple local repositories.  The existing largefiles method is
reused in place, because I suspect that there are other functions that can be
shared.  If we wait a bit to identify more before `hg cp lfutil.py ...`, the
history will be easier to trace.

The push between repo14 and repo15 in test-lfs.t arguably shouldn't be uploading
any files with a local push.  Maybe we can revisit that when `hg push` without
'lfs.url' can upload files to the push destination.  Then it would be consistent
for blobs in a local push to be linked to the local destination's cache.

The cache property is added to run-tests.py, the same as the largefiles
property, so that test generated files don't pollute the real location.  Having
files available locally broke a couple existing lfs-test-server tests, so the
cache is cleared in a few places to force file download.

# 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.

# 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.
