debugshell: allow commands to be specified as a CLI argument

Add a `--command` option to `hg debugshell` that allows the user to pass in
Python code to evaluate directly from the command line. This was inspired by
the `--command` option present in Facebook's Sapling fork of Mercurial,
which in turn was inspired by the `-c` option of the Python interpreter
itself. It is particularly useful for writing tests, especially for getting
visibility into things that otherwise aren't exposed via debug commands.

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py

See https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/WritingTests for
more information on writing tests.
