rust-status: add bare `hg status` support in hg-core

A lot of performance remains to be gained, most notably by doing more things
in parallel, but also by caching, not falling back to Python but switching
to another regex engine, etc..

I have measured on multiple repositories that this change, when in combination
with the next two patches, improve bare `hg status` performance, and has no
observable impact when falling back (because it does so early).

On the Netbeans repository:
C: 840ms
Rust+C: 556ms

Mozilla Central with the one pattern that causes a fallback removed:
C: 2.315s
Rust+C: 1.700 s

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
