perf: add threading capability to perfbdiff
Since we are releasing the GIL during diffing, it is interesting to see how a
thread pool would perform on diffing. We add a new `--threads` argument to
commands. Synchronizing the thread pool is a bit complex because we want to be
able to reuse it from one run to another.
On my computer (i7 with 4 cores + hyperthreading), I get the following data for
about 12000 revisions:
threads wall comb wall gain comb overhead
none 31.596715 31.59 0.00% 0.00%

8 7.070638 55.34 77.62% 75.18%
Compared to the feature disabled (threads=0), the overhead is negligible with
the threading code (threads=1), and the gain is already 48% with two threads.
====================================
Testing head checking code: Case A-4
====================================
Mercurial checks for the introduction of new heads on push. Evolution comes
into play to detect if existing branches on the server are being replaced by
some of the new one we push.
This case is part of a series of tests checking this behavior.
Category A: simple case involving a branch being superceeded by another.
TestCase 4: New changeset as children of the successor
.. old-state:
..
.. * 1-changeset branch
..
.. new-state:
..
.. * 2-changeset branch, first is a successor, but head is new
..
.. expected-result:
..
.. * push allowed
