filecache: create an entry in _filecache when __set__ is called for a missing one

Preserve the invariant that if P is a filecached property on X then
P in X.__dict__ => P in X._filecache.

Previously, it was possible for a filecached property to become out of sync
with the filesystem if it was set before getting it first, since the initial
filecacheentry was created in __get__.

Old behaviour:

  repo.prop = x
  repo.invalidate() # prop has no entry in _filecache, it's not removed
                    # from __dict__
  repo.prop         # returns x like before without checking with the
                    # filesystem

New:

  repo.prop = x     # an empty entry is created in _filecache
  repo.invalidate() # prop is removed from __dict__
  repo.prop         # recreates prop

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

Running without installing:

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