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.

Make sure that the internal merge tools (internal:fail, internal:local,
internal:union and internal:other) are used when matched by a
merge-pattern in hgrc

Make sure HGMERGE doesn't interfere with the test:

  $ unset HGMERGE

  $ hg init

Initial file contents:

  $ echo "line 1" > f
  $ echo "line 2" >> f
  $ echo "line 3" >> f
  $ hg ci -Am "revision 0"
  adding f

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  line 3

Branch 1: editing line 1:

  $ sed 's/line 1/first line/' f > f.new
  $ mv f.new f
  $ hg ci -Am "edited first line"

Branch 2: editing line 3:

  $ hg update 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/line 3/third line/' f > f.new
  $ mv f.new f
  $ hg ci -Am "edited third line"
  created new head

Merge using internal:fail tool:

  $ echo "[merge-patterns]" > .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "* = internal:fail" >> .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg merge --abort' to abandon
  [1]

  $ cat f
  line 1
  line 2
  third line

  $ hg stat
  M f

Merge using internal:local tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/internal:fail/internal:local/' .hg/hgrc > .hg/hgrc.new
  $ mv .hg/hgrc.new .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge
  0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

  $ cat f

  $ hg stat

Merge using internal:other tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ sed 's/internal:local/internal:other/' .hg/hgrc > .hg/hgrc.new

Merge using internal:union tool:

  $ hg update -C 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ echo "line 4a" >>f
  $ hg ci -Am "Adding fourth line (commit 4)"
  $ hg update 2
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

  $ echo "line 4b" >>f
  $ hg ci -Am "Adding fourth line v2 (commit 5)"
  created new head

  $ echo "[merge-patterns]" > .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "* = internal:union" >> .hg/hgrc

  $ hg merge 3
