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.

  $ hg init

  $ echo 123 > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m "first" a

  $ mkdir sub
  $ echo 321 > sub/b
  $ hg add sub/b
  $ hg commit -m "second" sub/b

  $ cat sub/b
  321

  $ hg co 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ cat sub/b 2>/dev/null || echo "sub/b not present"
  sub/b not present

  $ test -d sub || echo "sub not present"
  sub not present
