posix: give checkexec a fast path; keep the check files and test read only
Before, Mercurial would create a new temporary file every time, stat it, change
its exec mode, stat it again, and delete it. Most of this dance was done to
handle the rare and not-so-essential case of VFAT mounts on unix. The cost of
that was paid by the much more common and important case of using normal file
systems.
Instead, try to create and preserve .hg/cache/checkisexec and
.hg/cache/checknoexec with and without exec flag set. If the files exist and
have correct exec flags set, we can conclude that that file system supports the
exec flag. Best case, the whole exec check can thus be done with two stat
calls. Worst case, we delete the wrong files and check as usual. That will be
because temporary loss of exec bit or on file systems without support for the
exec bit. In that case we check as we did before, with the additional overhead
of one extra stat call.
It is possible that this different test algorithm in some cases on odd file
systems will give different behaviour. Again, I think it will be rare and
special cases and I think it is worth the risk.
test-clone.t happens to show the situation where checkisexec is left behind
from the old style check, while checknoexec only will be created next time a
exec check will be performed.

If we ever write workers that need to preserve grouping in input we should consider allowing callers to specify a partition strategy. mpm is not a fan of this partitioning strategy when files are involved. In his words: Single-threaded Mercurial makes a point of creating and visiting files in a fixed order (alphabetical). When creating files in order, a typical filesystem is likely to allocate them on nearby regions on disk. Thus, when revisiting in the same order, locality is maximized and various forms of OS and disk-level caching and read-ahead get a chance to work. This effect can be quite significant on spinning disks. I discovered it circa Mercurial v0.4 when revlogs were named by hashes of filenames. Tarring a repo and copying it to another disk effectively randomized the revlog ordering on disk by sorting the revlogs by hash and suddenly performance of my kernel checkout benchmark dropped by ~10x because the "working set" of sectors visited no longer fit in the drive's cache and the workload switched from streaming to random I/O. What we should really be doing is have workers read filenames from a ordered queue. This preserves locality and also keeps any worker from getting more than one file out of balance.
