revlog: add a mechanism to verify expected file position before appending

If someone uses `hg debuglocks`, or some non-hg process writes to the .hg
directory without respecting the locks, or if the repo's on a networked
filesystem, it's possible for the revlog code to write out corrupted data.

The form of this corruption can vary depending on what data was written and how
that happened. We are in the "networked filesystem" case (though I've had users
also do this to themselves with the "`hg debuglocks`" scenario), and most often
see this with the changelog. What ends up happening is we produce two items
(let's call them rev1 and rev2) in the .i file that have the same linkrev,
baserev, and offset into the .d file, while the data in the .d file is appended
properly. rev2's compressed_size is accurate for rev2, but when we go to
decompress the data in the .d file, we use the offset that's recorded in the
index file, which is the same as rev1, and attempt to decompress
rev2.compressed_size bytes of rev1's data. This usually does not succeed. :)

When using inline data, this also fails, though I haven't investigated why too
closely. This shows up as a "patch decode" error. I believe what's happening
there is that we're basically ignoring the offset field, getting the data
properly, but since baserev != rev, it thinks this is a delta based on rev
(instead of a full text) and can't actually apply it as such.

For now, I'm going to make this an optional component and default it to entirely
off. I may increase the default severity of this in the future, once I've
enabled it for my users and we gain more experience with it. Luckily, most of my
users have a versioned filesystem and can roll back to before the corruption has
been written, it's just a hassle to do so and not everyone knows how (so it's a
support burden). Users on other filesystems will not have that luxury, and this
can cause them to have a corrupted repository that they are unlikely to know how
to resolve, and they'll see this as a data-loss event. Refusing to create the
corruption is a much better user experience.

This mechanism is not perfect. There may be false-negatives (racy writes that
are not detected). There should not be any false-positives (non-racy writes that
are detected as such). This is not a mechanism that makes putting a repo on a
networked filesystem "safe" or "supported", just *less* likely to cause
corruption.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo

add or rename files on top of the master branch

  $ echo a1 > a
  $ echo b1 > b
  $ hg commit -qAm 1
  $ hg bookmark -i main
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: 1 new changesets in the main branch
  0 b: b1
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a
  fastannotate: a: 1 new changesets in the main branch
  0 a: a1
  $ echo a2 >> a
  $ cat > b << EOF
  > b0
  > b1
  > EOF
  $ hg mv a t
  $ hg mv b a
  $ hg mv t b
  $ hg commit -m 'swap names'

existing linelogs are not helpful with such renames in side branches

  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a
  fastannotate: a: linelog cannot help in annotating this revision
  1 a: b0
  0 b: b1
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: linelog cannot help in annotating this revision
  0 a: a1
  1 b: a2

move main branch forward, rebuild should happen

  $ hg bookmark -i main -r . -q
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: cache broken and deleted
  fastannotate: b: 2 new changesets in the main branch
  0 a: a1
  1 b: a2
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: using fast path (resolved fctx: True)
  0 a: a1
  1 b: a2

for rev 0, the existing linelog is still useful for a, but not for b

  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a -r 0
  fastannotate: a: using fast path (resolved fctx: True)
  0 a: a1
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b -r 0
  fastannotate: b: linelog cannot help in annotating this revision
  0 b: b1

a rebuild can also be triggered if "the main branch last time" mismatches

  $ echo a3 >> a
  $ hg commit -m a3
  $ cat >> b << EOF
  > b3
  > b4
  > EOF
  $ hg commit -m b4
  $ hg bookmark -i main -q
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a
  fastannotate: a: cache broken and deleted
  fastannotate: a: 3 new changesets in the main branch
  1 a: b0
  0 b: b1
  2 a: a3
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a
  fastannotate: a: using fast path (resolved fctx: True)
  1 a: b0
  0 b: b1
  2 a: a3

linelog can be updated without being helpful

  $ hg mv a t
  $ hg mv b a
  $ hg mv t b
  $ hg commit -m 'swap names again'
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: 1 new changesets in the main branch
  1 a: b0
  0 b: b1
  2 a: a3
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: linelog cannot help in annotating this revision
  1 a: b0
  0 b: b1
  2 a: a3

move main branch forward again, rebuilds are one-time

  $ hg bookmark -i main -q
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a
  fastannotate: a: cache broken and deleted
  fastannotate: a: 4 new changesets in the main branch
  0 a: a1
  1 b: a2
  3 b: b3
  3 b: b4
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: cache broken and deleted
  fastannotate: b: 4 new changesets in the main branch
  1 a: b0
  0 b: b1
  2 a: a3
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a
  fastannotate: a: using fast path (resolved fctx: True)
  0 a: a1
  1 b: a2
  3 b: b3
  3 b: b4
  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf b
  fastannotate: b: using fast path (resolved fctx: True)
  1 a: b0
  0 b: b1
  2 a: a3

annotate a revision not in the linelog. linelog cannot be used, but does not get rebuilt either

  fastannotate: a: linelog cannot help in annotating this revision

  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a -r .
  fastannotate: a: using fast path (resolved fctx: True)
  0 a: a1

annotate an ancient revision where the path matches. linelog can be used

  $ hg fastannotate --debug -nf a -r 0
