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.

Test the extensions.afterloaded() function

  $ cat > foo.py <<EOF
  > from mercurial import extensions
  > def uisetup(ui):
  >     ui.write(b"foo.uisetup\\n")
  >     ui.flush()
  >     def bar_loaded(loaded):
  >         ui.write(b"foo: bar loaded: %r\\n" % (loaded,))
  >         ui.flush()
  >     extensions.afterloaded(b'bar', bar_loaded)
  > EOF
  $ cat > bar.py <<EOF
  > def uisetup(ui):
  >     ui.write(b"bar.uisetup\\n")
  >     ui.flush()
  > EOF
  $ basepath=`pwd`

  $ hg init basic
  $ cd basic
  $ echo foo > file
  $ hg add file
  $ hg commit -m 'add file'

  $ echo '[extensions]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "foo = $basepath/foo.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "bar = $basepath/bar.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ hg log -r. -T'{rev}\n'
  foo.uisetup
  foo: bar loaded: True
  bar.uisetup
  0

Test afterloaded with the opposite extension load order

  $ cd ..
  $ hg init basic_reverse
  $ cd basic_reverse
  $ echo foo > file
  $ hg add file
  $ hg commit -m 'add file'

  $ echo '[extensions]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "bar = $basepath/bar.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "foo = $basepath/foo.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ hg log -r. -T'{rev}\n'
  bar.uisetup
  foo.uisetup
  foo: bar loaded: True

Test the extensions.afterloaded() function when the requested extension is not
loaded

  $ cd ..
  $ hg init notloaded
  $ cd notloaded
  $ echo foo > file
  $ hg add file
  $ hg commit -m 'add file'

  $ echo '[extensions]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "foo = $basepath/foo.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ hg log -r. -T'{rev}\n'
  foo.uisetup
  foo: bar loaded: False

Test the extensions.afterloaded() function when the requested extension is not
configured but fails the minimum version check

  $ cd ..
  $ cat > minvers.py <<EOF
  > minimumhgversion = b'9999.9999'
  > def uisetup(ui):
  >     ui.write(b"minvers.uisetup\\n")
  >     ui.flush()
  > EOF
  $ hg init minversion
  $ cd minversion
  $ echo foo > file
  $ hg add file
  $ hg commit -m 'add file'

  $ echo '[extensions]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "foo = $basepath/foo.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "bar = $basepath/minvers.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ hg log -r. -T'{rev}\n'
  (third party extension bar requires version 9999.9999 or newer of Mercurial; disabling)
  foo.uisetup
  foo: bar loaded: False

Test the extensions.afterloaded() function when the requested extension is not
configured but fails the minimum version check, using the opposite load order
for the two extensions.

  $ cd ..
  $ hg init minversion_reverse
  $ cd minversion_reverse
  $ echo foo > file
  $ hg add file
  $ hg commit -m 'add file'

  $ echo '[extensions]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "bar = $basepath/minvers.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo "foo = $basepath/foo.py" >> .hg/hgrc
  $ hg log -r. -T'{rev}\n'
  (third party extension bar requires version 9999.9999 or newer of Mercurial; disabling)
