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.

test merging things outside of the sparse checkout

  $ hg init myrepo
  $ cd myrepo
  $ cat > .hg/hgrc <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > sparse=
  > EOF

  $ echo foo > foo
  $ echo bar > bar
  $ hg add foo bar
  $ hg commit -m initial

  $ hg branch feature
  marked working directory as branch feature
  (branches are permanent and global, did you want a bookmark?)
  $ echo bar2 >> bar
  $ hg commit -m 'feature - bar2'

  $ hg update -q default
  $ hg debugsparse --exclude 'bar**'

  $ hg merge feature
  temporarily included 1 file(s) in the sparse checkout for merging
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

Verify bar was merged temporarily

  $ ls
  bar
  foo
  $ hg status
  M bar

Verify bar disappears automatically when the working copy becomes clean

  $ hg commit -m "merged"
  cleaned up 1 temporarily added file(s) from the sparse checkout
  $ hg status
  $ ls
  foo

  $ hg cat -r . bar
  bar
  bar2

Test merging things outside of the sparse checkout that are not in the working
copy

  $ hg strip -q -r . --config extensions.strip=
  $ hg up -q feature
  $ touch branchonly
  $ hg ci -Aqm 'add branchonly'

  $ hg up -q default
  $ hg debugsparse -X branchonly
  $ hg merge feature
  temporarily included 2 file(s) in the sparse checkout for merging
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
