localrepo: handle ValueError during repository opening

Python 3.8 can raise ValueError on attempt of an I/O operation
against an illegal path. This was causing test-remotefilelog-gc.t
to fail on Python 3.8.

This commit teaches repository opening to handle ValueError
and re-raise an Abort on failure.

An arguably better solution would be to implement this logic
in the vfs layer. But that seems like a bag of worms and I don't
want to go down that rabbit hole. Until users report uncaught
ValueError exceptions in the wild, I think it is fine to patch
this at the only occurrence our test harness is finding it.

#require no-pure

A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:

  $ cat > s.py <<EOF
  > import random
  > for x in range(100000):
  >     print
  >     if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
  >         x += 1
  >     print(hex(x))
  > EOF

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a

Check in a big file:

  $ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
  $ hg ci -qAm0

Modify it:

  $ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a

Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:

  $ hg ci --time -m1 --config worker.enabled=no
  time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
