unionrepo: read-only operations on a union of two localrepos

unionrepo is just like bundlerepo without bundles.

The implementation is very similar to bundlerepo, but I don't see any obvious
way to generalize it.

Some most obvious use cases for this would be log and diff across local repos,
as a kind of preview of pulls, for instance:

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 heads
  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 log -r REPO1REV -r REPO2REV
  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 log -r '::REPO1REV-::REPO2REV'
  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 log -r 'ancestor(REPO1REV,REPO2REV)'
  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 diff -r REPO1REV -r REPO2REV

This is going to be used in RhodeCode, and Bitbucket already uses something
similar. Having a core implementation would be beneficial.

  $ hg init
  $ echo 0 > a
  $ echo 0 > b
  $ hg ci -A -m m
  adding a
  adding b
  $ hg rm a
  $ hg cat a
  0
  $ hg cat --decode a # more tests in test-encode
  0
  $ echo 1 > b
  $ hg ci -m m
  $ echo 2 > b
  $ hg cat -r 0 a
  0
  $ hg cat -r 0 b
  0
  $ hg cat -r 1 a
  a: no such file in rev 7040230c159c
  [1]
  $ hg cat -r 1 b
  1

  $ hg cat 'set:not(b) or a'
