server: add an error feedback mechanism for when the daemon fails to launch

There's a recurring problem on Windows where `hg serve -d` will randomly fail to
spawn a detached process.  The reason for the failure is completely hidden, and
it takes hours to get a single failure on my laptop.  All this does is redirect
stdout/stderr of the child to a file until the lock file is freed, and then the
parent dumps it out if it fails to spawn.

I chose to put the output into the lock file because that is always cleaned up.
There's no way to report errors after that anyway.  On Windows, killdaemons.py
is roughly `kill -9`, so this ensures that junk won't pile up.

This may end up being a case of EADDRINUSE.  At least that's what I saw spit out
a few times (among other odd errors and missing output on Windows).  But I also
managed to get the same thing on Fedora 26 by running test-hgwebdir.t with
--loop -j10 for several hours.  Running `netstat` immediately after killing that
run printed a wall of sockets in the TIME_WAIT state, which were gone a couple
seconds later.  I couldn't match up ports that failed, because --loop doesn't
print out the message about the port that was used.  So maybe the fix is to
rotate the use of HGPORT[12] in the tests.  But, let's collect some more data
first.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from __future__ import absolute_import

import os
import sys

os.chdir(os.getenv('TESTTMP'))

if sys.argv[1] != "user@dummy":
    sys.exit(-1)

os.environ["SSH_CLIENT"] = "%s 1 2" % os.environ.get('LOCALIP', '127.0.0.1')

log = open("dummylog", "ab")
log.write(b"Got arguments")
for i, arg in enumerate(sys.argv[1:]):
    log.write(b" %d:%s" % (i + 1, arg.encode('latin1')))
log.write(b"\n")
log.close()
hgcmd = sys.argv[2]
if os.name == 'nt':
    # hack to make simple unix single quote quoting work on windows
    hgcmd = hgcmd.replace("'", '"')
r = os.system(hgcmd)
sys.exit(bool(r))
