rhg: Add support for automatic fallback to Python

`rhg` is a command-line application that can do a small subset of what
`hg` can. It is written entirely in Rust, which avoids the cost of starting
a Python interpreter and importing many Python modules.
In a script that runs many `hg` commands, this cost can add up.

However making users decide when to use `rhg` instead of `hg` is
not practical as we want the subset of supported functionality
to grow over time.

Instead we introduce "fallback" behavior where, when `rhg` encounters
something (a sub-command, a repository format, …) that is not implemented
in Rust-only, it does nothing but silently start a subprocess of
Python-based `hg` running the same command.
That way `rhg` becomes a drop-in replacement for `hg` that sometimes
goes faster. Whether Python is used should be an implementation detail
not apparent to users (other than through speed).

A new `fallback` value is added to the previously introduced
`rhg.on-unsupported` configuration key. When in this mode, the new
`rhg.fallback-executable` config is determine what command to use
to run a Python-based `hg`.

The previous `rhg.on-unsupported = abort-silent` configuration was designed
to let a wrapper script call `rhg` and then fall back to `hg` based on the
exit code. This is still available, but having fallback behavior built-in
in rhg might be easier for users instead of leaving that script "as an
exercise for the reader".

Using a subprocess like this is not idea, especially when `rhg` is to be
installed in `$PATH` as `hg`, since the other `hg.py` executable needs
to still be available… somewhere. Eventually this could be replaced
by using PyOxidizer to a have a single executable that embeds a Python
interpreter, but only starts it when needed.

Testing recorded "modified" files for merge commit
==================================================

This file shows what hg says are "modified" files for a merge commit
(hg log -T {files}), somewhat exhaustively.

This file test multiple corner case.

For merges that involve files contents changing, check test-merge-combination-file-content.t

For merges that involve executable bit changing, check test-merge-combination-exec-bytes.t


Case with multiple or zero merge ancestors, copies/renames, and identical file contents
with different filelog revisions are not currently covered.

  $ . $TESTDIR/testlib/merge-combination-util.sh

Files modified or cleanly merged, with no greatest common ancestors:

  $ hg init repo; cd repo
  $ touch a0 b0; hg commit -qAm 0
  $ hg up -qr null; touch a1 b1; hg commit -qAm 1
  $ hg merge -qr 0; rm b*; hg commit -qAm 2
  $ hg log -r . -T '{files}\n'
  b0 b1
  $ cd ../
  $ rm -rf repo

A few cases of criss-cross merges involving deletions (listing all
such merges is probably too much). Both gcas contain $files, so we
expect the final merge to behave like a merge with a single gca
containing $files.

  $ hg init repo; cd repo
  $ files="c1 u1 c2 u2"
  $ touch $files; hg commit -qAm '0 root'
  $ for f in $files; do echo f > $f; done; hg commit -qAm '1 gca1'
  $ hg up -qr0; hg revert -qr 1 --all; hg commit -qAm '2 gca2'
  $ hg up -qr 1; hg merge -qr 2; rm *1; hg commit -qAm '3 p1'
  $ hg up -qr 2; hg merge -qr 1; rm *2; hg commit -qAm '4 p2'
  $ hg merge -qr 3; echo f > u1; echo f > u2; rm -f c1 c2
  $ hg commit -qAm '5 merge with two gcas'
  $ hg log -r . -T '{files}\n' # expecting u1 u2
  
  $ cd ../
  $ rm -rf repo
