rbc: use struct unpack_from and pack_into instead of unpack and pack

These functions were introduced in Python 2.5 and are faster and simpler than
the old ones ...  mainly because we can avoid intermediate buffers:

  $ python -m timeit -s "_rbcrecfmt='>4sI'" -s 's = "x"*10000' -s 'from struct import unpack' 'unpack(_rbcrecfmt, buffer(s, 16, 8))'
  1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.543 usec per loop
  $ python -m timeit -s "_rbcrecfmt='>4sI'" -s 's = "x"*10000' -s 'from struct import unpack_from' 'unpack_from(_rbcrecfmt, s, 16)'
  1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.323 usec per loop

  $ python -m timeit -s "from array import array" -s "_rbcrecfmt='>4sI'" -s "s = array('c')" -s 's.fromstring("x"*10000)' -s 'from struct import pack' -s "rec = array('c')" 'rec.fromstring(pack(_rbcrecfmt, "asdf", 7))'
  1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.364 usec per loop
  $ python -m timeit -s "from array import array" -s "_rbcrecfmt='>4sI'" -s "s = array('c')" -s 's.fromstring("x"*10000)' -s 'from struct import pack_into' -s "rec = array('c')" -s 'rec.fromstring("x"*100)' 'pack_into(_rbcrecfmt, rec, 0, "asdf", 7)'
  1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.229 usec per loop

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution
# markers created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests are 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
