merge: mark file gets as not thread safe (issue5933)

In default installs, this has the effect of disabling the thread-based
worker on Windows when manifesting files in the working directory. My
measurements have shown that with revlog-based repositories, Mercurial
spends a lot of CPU time in revlog code resolving file data. This ends
up incurring a lot of context switching across threads and slows down
`hg update` operations when going from an empty working directory to
the tip of the repo.

On mozilla-unified (246,351 files) on an i7-6700K (4+4 CPUs):

before: 487s wall
after:  360s wall (equivalent to worker.enabled=false)
cpus=2: 379s wall

Even with only 2 threads, the thread pool is still slower.

The introduction of the thread-based worker (02b36e860e0b) states that
it resulted in a "~50%" speedup for `hg sparse --enable-profile` and
`hg sparse --disable-profile`. This disagrees with my measurement
above. I theorize a few reasons for this:

1) Removal of files from the working directory is I/O - not CPU - bound
   and should benefit from a thread pool (unless I/O is insanely fast
   and the GIL release is near instantaneous). So tests like `hg sparse
   --enable-profile` may exercise deletion throughput and aren't good
   benchmarks for worker tasks that are CPU heavy.
2) The patch was authored by someone at Facebook. The results were
   likely measured against a repository using remotefilelog. And I
   believe that revision retrieval during working directory updates with
   remotefilelog will often use a remote store, thus being I/O and not
   CPU bound. This probably resulted in an overstated performance gain.

Since there appears to be a need to enable the thread-based worker with
some stores, I've made the flagging of file gets as thread safe
configurable. I've made it experimental because I don't want to formalize
a boolean flag for this option and because this attribute is best
captured against the store implementation. But we don't have a proper
store API for this yet. I'd rather cross this bridge later.

It is possible there are revlog-based repositories that do benefit from
a thread-based worker. I didn't do very comprehensive testing. If there
are, we may want to devise a more proper algorithm for whether to use
the thread-based worker, including possibly config options to limit the
number of threads to use. But until I see evidence that justifies
complexity, simplicity wins.

anyway.

Test that dirstate changes aren't written out at the end of "hg
status", if .hg/dirstate is already changed simultaneously before
acquisition of wlock in workingctx._poststatusfixup().

This avoidance is important to keep consistency of dirstate in race
condition (see issue5584 for detail).

"hg status" below should excludes "e", of which exec flag is set, for
portability of test scenario, because unsure but missing "e" is
treated differently in _checklookup() according to runtime platform.

- "missing(!)" on POSIX, "pctx[f].cmp(self[f])" raises ENOENT
- "modified(M)" on Windows, "self.flags(f) != pctx.flags(f)" is True

#if fsmonitor

Create fsmonitor state.

  $ hg status
  $ f --type .hg/fsmonitor.state
  .hg/fsmonitor.state: file

Test that invalidating fsmonitor state in the middle (which doesn't require the
wlock) causes the fsmonitor update to be skipped.
hg debugrebuilddirstate ensures that the dirstaterace hook will be called, but
it also invalidates the fsmonitor state. So back it up and restore it.

  $ mv .hg/fsmonitor.state .hg/fsmonitor.state.tmp
  $ hg debugrebuilddirstate
  $ mv .hg/fsmonitor.state.tmp .hg/fsmonitor.state

Configure a merge tool that runs status in the middle of the rebase. The goal of
the status call is to trigger a potential bug if fsmonitor's state is written
even though the wlock is held by another process. The output of 'hg status' in
the merge tool goes to /dev/null because we're more interested in the results of
'hg status' run after the rebase.
