git: skeleton of a new extension to _directly_ operate on git repos This is based in part of work I did years ago in hgit, but it's mostly new code since I'm using pygit2 instead of dulwich and the hg storage interfaces have improved. Some cleanup of old hgit code by Pulkit, which I greatly appreciate. test-git-interop.t does not cover a whole lot of cases, but it passes. It includes status, diff, making a new commit, and `hg annotate` working on the git repository. This is _not_ (yet) production quality code: this is an experiment. Known technical debt lurking in this implementation: * Writing bookmarks just totally ignores transactions. * The way progress is threaded down into the gitstore is awful. * Ideally we'd find a way to incrementally reindex DAGs. I'm not sure how to do that efficiently, so we might need a "known only fast-forwards" mode on the DAG indexer for use on `hg commit` and friends. * We don't even _try_ to do anything reasonable for `hg pull` or `hg push`. * Mercurial need an interface for the changelog type. Tests currently require git 2.24 as far as I'm aware: `git status` has some changed output that I didn't try and handle in a compatible way. This patch has produced some interesting cleanups, most recently on the manifest type. I expect continuing down this road will produce other meritorious cleanups throughout our code.

== New Features ==

 * `hg purge`/`hg clean` can now delete ignored files instead of
   untracked files, with the new -i flag.

 * `hg log` now defaults to using an '%' symbol for commits involved
    in unresolved merge conflicts. That includes unresolved conflicts
    caused by e.g. `hg update --merge` and `hg graft`. '@' still takes
    precedence, so what used to be marked '@' still is.

 * New `conflictlocal()` and `conflictother()` revsets return the
   commits that are being merged, when there are conflicts. Also works
   for conflicts caused by e.g. `hg graft`.

 * `hg copy --forget` can be used to unmark a file as copied.

 * The `format.revlog-compression` configuration entry now accept a list. The
   first available option will be used. for example setting::

     [format]
     revlog-compression=zstd, zlib

   Will use `zstd` compression for new repositories is available, and will
   simply fall back to `zlib` if not.

 * `hg debugmergestate` output is now templated, which may be useful
   e.g. for IDEs that want to help the user resolve merge conflicts.


== New Experimental Features ==

 * `hg copy` now supports a `--at-rev` argument to mark files as
   copied in the specified commit. It only works with `--after` for
   now (i.e., it's only useful for marking files copied using non-hg
   `cp` as copied).

 * Use `hg copy --forget --at-rev REV` to unmark already committed
   copies.

== Bug Fixes  ==

 * Fix server exception when concurrent pushes delete the same bookmark

 * Prevent pushes of divergent bookmarks (foo@remote)

 * The push error "remote repository changed while pushing - please
   try again" now only happens when a concurrent push changed related
   heads (instead of when a concurrent pushed any revision).


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * When `hg rebase` pauses for merge conflict resolution, the working
   copy will no longer have the rebased node as a second parent. You
   can use the new `conflictparents()` revset for finding the other
   parent during a conflict.

 * `hg recover` does not verify the validity of the whole repository
   anymore. You can pass `--verify` or call `hg verify` if necessary.

 * `hg debugmergestate` output format changed. Let us know if that is
   causing you problems and we'll roll it back.

 * Resolved merge conflicts are now cleared by `hg commit` even if the
   working copy has no changes.


== Internal API Changes ==

 * The deprecated `ui.progress()` has now been deleted. Please use
   `ui.makeprogress()` instead.

 * `hg.merge()` now takes a `ctx` instead of the previous `repo` and
   `node` arguments.

 * `hg.merge()` has lost its `abort` argument. Please call
   `hg.abortmerge()` directly instead.

 * `hg.merge()` has lost its `mergeforce` argument. It should have
   only ever been called with the same value as the `force` argument.

 * The `*others` argument of `cmdutil.check_incompatible_arguments()`
   changed from being varargs argument to being a single collection.
