perf: perform a garbage collection before each iteration

Currently, no explicit garbage collection is performed when running
the microbenchmarks in `hg perf`. I think this is wrong because
garbage collection can have a significant impact on execution times.
And, if gc is triggered via the default heuristics, it will
fire effectively randomly during subsequent benchmark iterations
due to variable amount of garbage left over from previous runs.

Running a gc before invoking the measured function will help ensure
state is more consistent across all iterations.

Enable obsolete markers

Build a repo with some cacheable bits:

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -qAm0
  $ hg tag t1
  $ hg book -i bk1

  $ hg branch -q b2
  $ hg ci -Am1
  $ hg tag t2

  $ echo dumb > dumb
  $ hg ci -qAmdumb
  $ hg debugobsolete b1174d11b69e63cb0c5726621a43c859f0858d7f

  $ hg phase -pr t1
  $ hg phase -fsr t2

Make a helper function to check cache damage invariants:

- command output shouldn't change
- cache should be present after first use
- corruption/repair should be silent (no exceptions or warnings)
- cache should survive deletion, overwrite, and append
- unreadable / unwriteable caches should be ignored
- cache should be rebuilt after corruption

  $ damage() {
  >  CMD=$1
  >  CACHE=.hg/cache/$2
  >  CLEAN=$3
  >  hg $CMD > before
  >  test -f $CACHE || echo "not present"
  >  echo bad > $CACHE
  >  test -z "$CLEAN" || $CLEAN
  >  hg $CMD > after
  >  diff -u before after || echo "*** overwrite corruption"
  >  echo corruption >> $CACHE
  >  test -z "$CLEAN" || $CLEAN
  >  hg $CMD > after
  >  diff -u before after || echo "*** append corruption"
  >  rm $CACHE
  >  mkdir $CACHE
  >  test -z "$CLEAN" || $CLEAN
  >  hg $CMD > after
  >  diff -u before after || echo "*** read-only corruption"
  >  test -d $CACHE || echo "*** directory clobbered"
  >  rmdir $CACHE
  >  test -z "$CLEAN" || $CLEAN
  >  hg $CMD > after
  >  diff -u before after || echo "*** missing corruption"
  >  test -f $CACHE || echo "not rebuilt"
  > }

Beat up tags caches:

  $ damage "tags --hidden" tags2
  $ damage tags tags2-visible
  $ damage "tag -f t3" hgtagsfnodes1

Beat up hidden cache:

  $ damage log hidden

Beat up branch caches:

  $ damage branches branch2-base "rm .hg/cache/branch2-[vs]*"
  $ damage branches branch2-served "rm .hg/cache/branch2-[bv]*"
  $ damage branches branch2-visible
  $ damage "log -r branch(.)" rbc-names-v1
  $ damage "log -r branch(default)" rbc-names-v1
  $ damage "log -r branch(b2)" rbc-revs-v1

We currently can't detect an rbc cache with unknown names:

  $ damage "log -qr branch(b2)" rbc-names-v1
