delta-find: add a way to control the number of bases tested at the same time

See inline comment for details.

The feature is currently disabled, but should be enabled by default to mitigate
some existing pathological cases.

Also see the next changeset for details.

= Mercurial 6.3.1 =

 * memory-usage: fix `hg log --follow --rev R F` space complexity (dcb2581e33be)
 * Improve portability and robustness of test harness
 * hg-core: relax dependencies pinning
 * matcher: fix issues regex flag contained in pattern (issue6759)
 * matcher: do not prepend '.*' to pattern using ^ after flags
 * packaging: refresh dependency hashes (issue6750)
 * cffi: fix a bytes vs str issue on macOS when listing directories
 * commit: properly consider file include and exclude options when closing branch
 * dirstate-v2: do not put the dirstate data file in a transaction

== Default Format Change ==

These changes affect newly created repositories (or new clones) done with
Mercurial 6.3.

== New Experimental Features ==

== Bug Fixes ==

 * shelve: demonstrate that the state is different across platforms (issue6735)
 * shelve: in test for trailing whitespace, strip commit (issue6735)
 * shelve: remove strip and rely on prior state (issue6735)
 * tests: fix http-bad-server expected errors for python 3.10 (issue6643)
 * status: let `--no-copies` override `ui.statuscopies`
 * releasenotes: use re.MULTILINE mode when checking admonitions
 * rhg: fallback to slow path on invalid patterns in hgignore
 * Fix a bunch of leftover str/bytes issues from Python 3 migration
 * keepalive: ensure `close_all()` actually closes all cached connections
 * lfs: fix blob corruption when tranferring with workers on posix
 * lfs: avoid closing connections when the worker doesn't fork
 * dirstate-v2: update constant that wasn't kept in sync
 * dirstate-v2: fix edge case where entries aren't sorted
 * upgrade: no longer keep all revlogs in memory at any point
 * rust-status: save new dircache even if just invalidated
 * dirstate-v2: hash the source of the ignore patterns as well
 * rhg: fallback when encountering ellipsis revisions
 * shelve: handle empty parents and nodestoremove in shelvedstate (issue6748)
 * profile: prevent a crash when line number is unknown
 * tags-fnode-cache: do not repeatedly open the filelog in a loop
 * tags-fnode-cache: skip building a changectx in getfnode
 * rust: create wrapper struct to reduce `regex` contention issues

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * chg worker processes will now correctly load per-repository configuration
   when given a both a relative `--repository` path and an alternate working
   directory via `--cwd`. A side-effect of this change is that these workers
   will now return an error if hg cannot find the current working directory,
   even when a different directory is specified via `--cwd`.
 * phase: rename the requirement for internal-phase from `internal-phase` to `use-internal-phase` (see 74fb1842f8b962cf03d7cd5b841dbcf2ae065587)

== Internal API Changes ==

 * perf: properly process formatter option in perf::unbundle
