util: add a way to issue deprecation warning without a UI object Our current deprecation warning mechanism relies on ui object. They are case where we cannot have access to the UI object. On a general basis we avoid using the python mechanism for deprecation warning because up to Python 2.6 it is exposing warning to unsuspecting user who cannot do anything to deal with them. So we build a "safe" strategy to hide this warnings behind a flag in an environment variable. The test runner set this flag so that tests show these warning. This will help us marker API as deprecated for extensions to update their code.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
