attr: vendor 22.1.0

The previous version was 5 years old, and pytype 2022.06.30 started complaining
about various uses (e.g. seeing `mercurial.thirdparty.attr._make._CountingAttr`
instead of `bytearray`).  Hopefully this helps.  Additionally, this has official
python 3.11 support.

The `attrs` package is left out, because it is simply a bunch of *.pyi stubs and
`from attr.X import *`, and that's not how they've been used up to this point.
We'd probably need to customize those anyway to
`from mercurial.thirdparty.attr import *`.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
