largefiles: for update -C, only update largefiles when necessary

Before, a --clean update with largefiles would use the "optimization" that it
didn't read hashes from standin files before and after the update. Instead of
trusting the content of the standin files, it would rehash all the actual
largefiles that lfdirstate reported clean and update the standins that didn't
have the expected content. It could thus in some "impossible" situations
automatically recover from some "largefile got out sync with its standin"
issues (even there apparently still were weird corner cases where it could
fail). This extra checking is similar to what core --clean intentionally do
not do, and it made update --clean unbearable slow.

Usually in core Mercurial, --clean will rely on the dirstate to find the files
it should update. (It is thus intentionally possible (when trying to trick the
system or if there should be bugs) to end up in situations where --clean not
will restore the working directory content correctly.) Checking every file when
we "know" it is ok is however not an option - that would be too slow.

Instead, trust the content of the standin files. Use the same logic for --clean
as for linear updates and trust the dirstate and that our "logic" will keep
them in sync. It is much cheaper to just rehash the largefiles reported dirty
by a status walk and read all standins than to hash largefiles.

Most of the changes are just a change of indentation now when the different
kinds of updates no longer are handled that differently. Standins for added
files are however only written when doing a normal update, while deleted and
removed files only will be updated for --clean updates.

#require symlink

Create extension that can disable symlink support:

  $ cat > nolink.py <<EOF
  > from mercurial import extensions, util
  > def setflags(orig, f, l, x):
  >     pass
  > def checklink(orig, path):
  >     return False
  > def extsetup(ui):
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'setflags', setflags)
  >     extensions.wrapfunction(util, 'checklink', checklink)
  > EOF

  $ hg init unix-repo
  $ cd unix-repo
  $ echo foo > a
  $ ln -s a b
  $ hg ci -Am0
  adding a
  adding b
  $ cd ..

Simulate a checkout shared on NFS/Samba:

  $ hg clone -q unix-repo shared
  $ cd shared
  $ rm b
  $ echo foo > b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py status --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Make a clone using placeholders:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py clone . ../win-repo
  updating to branch default
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd ../win-repo
  $ cat b
  a (no-eol)
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug

Empty placeholder:

  $ rm b
  $ touch b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Write binary data to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this is a binary\0')
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Write a long string to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this' * 1000)
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  ignoring suspect symlink placeholder "b"

Commit shouldn't succeed:

  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
  nothing changed
  [1]

Write a valid string to the placeholder:

  >>> open('b', 'w').write('this')
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py st --debug
  M b
  $ hg --config extensions.n=$TESTTMP/nolink.py ci -m1
  $ hg manifest tip --verbose
  644   a
  644 @ b

  $ cd ..
