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.

Corrupt an hg repo with two pulls.
create one repo with a long history

  $ hg init source1
  $ cd source1
  $ touch foo
  $ hg add foo
  $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
  >     echo $i >> foo
  >     hg ci -m $i
  > done
  $ cd ..

create one repo with a shorter history

  $ hg clone -r 0 source1 source2
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
  new changesets 495a0ec48aaf
  updating to branch default
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd source2
  $ echo a >> foo
  $ hg ci -m a
  $ cd ..

create a third repo to pull both other repos into it

  $ hg init corrupted
  $ cd corrupted

use a hook to make the second pull start while the first one is still running

  $ echo '[hooks]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'prechangegroup = sleep 5' >> .hg/hgrc

start a pull...

  $ hg pull ../source1 > pull.out 2>&1 &

... and start another pull before the first one has finished

  $ sleep 1
  $ hg pull ../source2 2>/dev/null
