run-tests: mechanism to report exceptions during test execution

Sometimes when running tests you introduce a ton of exceptions.
The most extreme example of this is running Mercurial with Python 3,
which currently spews thousands of exceptions when running the test
harness.

This commit adds an opt-in feature to run-tests.py to aggregate
exceptions encountered by `hg` when running tests.

When --exceptions is used, the test harness enables the
"logexceptions" extension in the test environment. This extension
wraps the Mercurial function to handle exceptions and writes
information about the exception to a random filename in a directory
defined by the test harness via an environment variable. At the
end of the test harness, these files are parsed, aggregated, and
a list of all unique Mercurial frames triggering exceptions is
printed in order of frequency.

This feature is intended to aid Python 3 development. I've only
really tested it on Python 3. There is no shortage of improvements
that could be made. e.g. we could write a separate file containing
the exception report - maybe even an HTML report. We also don't
capture which tests demonstrate the exceptions, so there's no turnkey
way to test whether a code change made an exception disappear.
Perfect is the enemy of good. I think the current patch is useful
enough to land. Whoever uses it can send patches to imprve its
usefulness.

#require execbit

b51a8138292a introduced a regression where we would mention in the
changelog executable files added by the second parent of a merge. Test
that that doesn't happen anymore

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ echo foo > foo
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add foo'

  $ echo bar > bar
  $ chmod +x bar
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add bar'

manifest of p2:

  $ hg manifest
  bar
  foo

  $ hg up -qC 0
  $ echo >> foo
  $ hg ci -m 'change foo'
  created new head

manifest of p1:

  $ hg manifest
  foo

  $ hg merge
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ chmod +x foo
  $ hg ci -m 'merge'

this should not mention bar but should mention foo:
