sqlitestore: file storage backend using SQLite

This commit provides an extension which uses SQLite to store file
data (as opposed to revlogs).

As the inline documentation describes, there are still several
aspects to the extension that are incomplete. But it's a start.
The extension does support basic clone, checkout, and commit
workflows, which makes it suitable for simple use cases.

One notable missing feature is support for "bundlerepos." This is
probably responsible for the most test failures when the extension
is activated as part of the test suite.

All revision data is stored in SQLite. Data is stored as zstd
compressed chunks (default if zstd is available), zlib compressed
chunks (default if zstd is not available), or raw chunks (if
configured or if a compressed delta is not smaller than the raw
delta). This makes things very similar to revlogs.

Unlike revlogs, the extension doesn't yet enforce a limit on delta
chain length. This is an obvious limitation and should be addressed.
This is somewhat mitigated by the use of zstd, which is much faster
than zlib to decompress.

There is a dedicated table for storing deltas. Deltas are stored
by the SHA-1 hash of their uncompressed content. The "fileindex" table
has columns that reference the delta for each revision and the base
delta that delta should be applied against. A recursive SQL query
is used to resolve the delta chain along with the delta data.

By storing deltas by hash, we are able to de-duplicate delta storage!
With revlogs, the same deltas in different revlogs would result in
duplicate storage of that delta. In this scheme, inserting the
duplicate delta is a no-op and delta chains simply reference the
existing delta.

When initially implementing this extension, I did not have
content-indexed deltas and deltas could be duplicated across files
(just like revlogs). When I implemented content-indexed deltas, the
size of the SQLite database for a full clone of mozilla-unified
dropped:

before: 2,554,261,504 bytes
after:  2,488,754,176 bytes

Surprisingly, this is still larger than the bytes size of revlog
files:

revlog files: 2,104,861,230 bytes
du -b:        2,254,381,614

I would have expected storage to be smaller since we're not limiting
delta chain length and since we're using zstd instead of zlib. I
suspect the SQLite indexes and per-column overhead account for the
bulk of the differences. (Keep in mind that revlog uses a 64-byte
packed struct for revision index data and deltas are stored without
padding. Aside from the 12 unused bytes in the 32 byte node field,
revlogs are pretty efficient.) Another source of overhead is file
name storage. With revlogs, file names are stored in the filesystem.
But with SQLite, we need to store file names in the database. This is
roughly equivalent to the size of the fncache file, which for the
mozilla-unified repository is ~34MB.

Since the SQLite database isn't append-only and since delta chains
can reference any delta, this opens some interesting possibilities.
For example, we could store deltas in reverse, such that fulltexts
are stored for newer revisions and deltas are applied to reconstruct
older revisions. This is likely a more optimal storage strategy for
version control, as new data tends to be more frequently accessed
than old data. We would obviously need wire protocol support for
transferring revision data from newest to oldest. And we would
probably need some kind of mechanism for "re-encoding" stores. But
it should be doable.

This extension is very much experimental quality. There are a handful
of features that don't work. It probably isn't suitable for day-to-day
use. But it could be used in limited cases (e.g. read-only checkouts
like in CI). And it is also a good proving ground for alternate
storage backends. As we continue to define interfaces for all things
storage, it will be useful to have a viable alternate storage backend
to see how things shake out in practice.

test-storage.py passes on Python 2 and introduces no new test failures on
Python 3. Having the storage-level unit tests has proved to be insanely
useful when developing this extension. Those tests caught numerous bugs
during development and I'm convinced this style of testing is the way
forward for ensuring alternate storage backends work as intended. Of
course, test coverage isn't close to what it needs to be. But it is
a start. And what coverage we have gives me confidence that basic store
functionality is implemented properly.

#require hardlink reporevlogstore

  $ cat > nlinks.py <<EOF

Some implementations of cp can't create hardlinks (replaces 'cp -al' on Linux):

  $ cat > linkcp.py <<EOF
  > from __future__ import absolute_import
  > import sys
  > from mercurial import util
  > util.copyfiles(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2], hardlink=True)
  > EOF

  $ linkcp()
  > {
  >     "$PYTHON" $TESTTMP/linkcp.py $1 $2
  > }

Prepare repo r1:

  $ hg init r1
  $ cd r1

  $ echo c1 > f1
  $ hg add f1
  $ hg ci -m0

  $ mkdir d1
  $ cd d1
  $ echo c2 > f2
  $ hg add f2
  $ hg ci -m1
  $ cd ../..

  $ nlinksdir r1/.hg/store
  1 r1/.hg/store/00changelog.i
  1 r1/.hg/store/00manifest.i
  1 r1/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
  1 r1/.hg/store/data/f1.i
  1 r1/.hg/store/fncache (repofncache !)
  1 r1/.hg/store/phaseroots
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo.backup.fncache (repofncache !)
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo.backupfiles
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo.phaseroots


Create hardlinked clone r2:

  $ hg clone -U --debug r1 r2 --config progress.debug=true
  linking: 1
  linking: 2
  linking: 3
  linking: 4
  linking: 5
  linking: 6
  linking: 7
  linked 7 files

Create non-hardlinked clone r3:

  $ hg clone --pull r1 r3
  requesting all changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 2 changesets with 2 changes to 2 files
  new changesets 40d85e9847f2:7069c422939c
  updating to branch default
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved


Repos r1 and r2 should now contain hardlinked files:

  $ nlinksdir r1/.hg/store
  2 r1/.hg/store/00changelog.i
  2 r1/.hg/store/00manifest.i
  2 r1/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
  2 r1/.hg/store/data/f1.i
  2 r1/.hg/store/fncache (repofncache !)
  1 r1/.hg/store/phaseroots
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo.backup.fncache (repofncache !)
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo.backupfiles
  1 r1/.hg/store/undo.phaseroots

  $ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store
  2 r2/.hg/store/00changelog.i
  2 r2/.hg/store/00manifest.i
  2 r2/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
  2 r2/.hg/store/data/f1.i
  2 r2/.hg/store/fncache (repofncache !)

Repo r3 should not be hardlinked:

  $ nlinksdir r3/.hg/store
  1 r3/.hg/store/00changelog.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/00manifest.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/data/f1.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/fncache (repofncache !)
  1 r3/.hg/store/phaseroots
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo.backupfiles
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo.phaseroots


Create a non-inlined filelog in r3:

  $ cd r3/d1
  >>> f = open('data1', 'wb')
  >>> for x in range(10000):
  ...     f.write(b"%d\n" % x) and None
  >>> f.close()
  $ for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do
  >   cat data1 >> f2
  >   hg commit -m$j
  > done
  $ cd ../..

  $ nlinksdir r3/.hg/store
  1 r3/.hg/store/00changelog.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/00manifest.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.d
  1 r3/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/data/f1.i
  1 r3/.hg/store/fncache (repofncache !)
  1 r3/.hg/store/phaseroots
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo.backup.fncache (repofncache !)
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo.backup.phaseroots
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo.backupfiles
  1 r3/.hg/store/undo.phaseroots

Push to repo r1 should break up most hardlinks in r2:

  $ hg -R r2 verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  checked 2 changesets with 2 changes to 2 files

  $ cd r3
  $ hg push
  pushing to $TESTTMP/r1
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 10 changesets with 10 changes to 1 files

  $ cd ..

  $ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store
  1 r2/.hg/store/00changelog.i
  1 r2/.hg/store/00manifest.i
  1 r2/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
  2 r2/.hg/store/data/f1.i
  [12] r2/\.hg/store/fncache (re) (repofncache !)

#if hardlink-whitelisted repofncache
  $ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store/fncache
  2 r2/.hg/store/fncache
#endif

  $ hg -R r2 verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  checked 2 changesets with 2 changes to 2 files


  $ cd r1
  $ hg up
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Committing a change to f1 in r1 must break up hardlink f1.i in r2:

  $ echo c1c1 >> f1
  $ hg ci -m00
  $ cd ..

  $ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store
  1 r2/.hg/store/00changelog.i
  1 r2/.hg/store/00manifest.i
  1 r2/.hg/store/data/d1/f2.i
  1 r2/.hg/store/data/f1.i
  [12] r2/\.hg/store/fncache (re) (repofncache !)

#if hardlink-whitelisted repofncache
  $ nlinksdir r2/.hg/store/fncache
  2 r2/.hg/store/fncache
#endif

Create a file which exec permissions we will change
  $ cd r3
  $ echo "echo hello world" > f3
  $ hg add f3
  $ hg ci -mf3
  $ cd ..

  $ cd r3
  $ hg tip --template '{rev}:{node|short}\n'
  12:d3b77733a28a
  $ echo bla > f1
  $ chmod +x f3
  $ hg ci -m1
  $ cd ..

Create hardlinked copy r4 of r3 (on Linux, we would call 'cp -al'):

  $ linkcp r3 r4

'checklink' is produced by hardlinking a symlink, which is undefined whether
the symlink should be followed or not. It does behave differently on Linux and
BSD. Just remove it so the test pass on both platforms.

  $ rm -f r4/.hg/cache/checklink

r4 has hardlinks in the working dir (not just inside .hg):

  $ nlinksdir r4
  2 r4/.hg/00changelog.i
  2 r4/.hg/branch
  2 r4/.hg/cache/branch2-base

Update back to revision 12 in r4 should break hardlink of file f1 and f3:
#if hardlink-whitelisted
  $ nlinksdir r4/.hg/undo.backup.dirstate r4/.hg/undo.dirstate
  4 r4/.hg/undo.backup.dirstate
