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.

# Dummy extension to define a namespace containing revision names

from __future__ import absolute_import

from mercurial import (
    namespaces,
)

def reposetup(ui, repo):
    names = {b'r%d' % rev: repo[rev].node() for rev in repo}
    namemap = lambda r, name: names.get(name)
    nodemap = lambda r, node: [b'r%d' % repo[node].rev()]

    ns = namespaces.namespace(b'revnames', templatename=b'revname',
                              logname=b'revname',
                              listnames=lambda r: names.keys(),
                              namemap=namemap, nodemap=nodemap)
    repo.names.addnamespace(ns)
