phabricator: refactor `phabread` to write all patches at once

This will be necessary to create a first class `phabimport` command.  That
command requires a transaction, and will import all named patches within a
single transaction.  But if Phabricator queries also happen within the
transaction, that leaves open the chance that an exception is raised, the
transaction is abandoned, and the next command that is run will complain about
needing to run `hg recover`.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8135

== 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 ==
