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.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3963

Verify that pending changesets are seen by pretxn* hooks but not by other
processes that access the destination repo while the hooks are running.

The hooks (python and external) both reject changesets after some think time,
during which another process runs pull.  Each hook creates a file ('notify') to
indicate to the controlling process that it is running; the process removes the
file to indicate the hook can terminate.

init env vars

  $ d=`pwd`
  $ maxwait=20

utility to run the test - start a push in the background and run pull

  $ dotest() {
  >     rm -f notify
  >     printf 'push '; hg -R child-push tip --template '{node}\n'
  >     hg -R child-push -q push > push.out 2>&1 &
  > 
  >     # wait for hook to create the notify file
  >     i=$maxwait
  >     while [ ! -f notify -a $i != 0 ]; do
  >         sleep 1
  >         i=`expr $i - 1`
  >     done
  > 
  >     # run pull
  >     hg -R child-pull -q pull
  >     rc=$?
  > 
  >     # tell hook to finish; notify should exist.
  >     rm notify
  >     wait
  > 
  >     cat push.out
  >     printf 'pull '; hg -R child-pull tip --template '{node}\n'
  >     return $rc
  > }

  >     fpath = os.path.join('$d', 'notify')
  >     f = open(fpath, 'w')
  >     f.close()
  >     # wait for ack - caller should delete the notify file
  >     i = $maxwait
  >     while os.path.exists(fpath) and i > 0:

  >         i -= 1
  >     return True # reject the changesets
  > EOF

external hook

  $ cat <<EOF > reject.sh
