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.

Enable ui.formatted because pager won't fire without it, and set up
pager and tell it to use our fake pager that lets us see when the
pager was running.

By default diff and log are paged, but id is not:

We can control the pager from the config

  $ hg log --limit 1 --config 'ui.paginate=False'
  changeset:   10:46106edeeb38

explicit --pager=on should take precedence over other configurations
(issue5580)

We can enable the pager on id:

BROKEN: should be paged
  $ hg --config pager.attend-id=yes id
  46106edeeb38 tip

Setting attend-$COMMAND to a false value works, even with pager in
core:
  $ hg --config pager.attend-diff=no diff -c 2
  diff -r f4be7687d414 -r bce265549556 a
  --- a/a	Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000

Command aliases should have same behavior as main command

  $ hg history --limit 2
  paged! 'changeset:   10:46106edeeb38\n'
  paged! 'tag:         tip\n'

  paged! 'summary:     modify a 9\n'
  paged! '\n'

Abbreviated command alias should also be paged

  $ hg hist -l 1
  paged! 'changeset:   10:46106edeeb38\n'
  paged! 'tag:         tip\n'
  paged! 'user:        test\n'

  paged! 'summary:     modify a 10\n'
  paged! '\n'

Attend for an abbreviated command does not work

  $ hg --config pager.attend-ident=true ident
  46106edeeb38 tip

  $ hg --config extensions.pager= --config pager.attend-ident=true ident
  46106edeeb38 tip

Pager should not start if stdout is not a tty.

  $ hg log -l1 -q --config ui.formatted=False
  10:46106edeeb38

Pager should be disabled if pager.pager is empty (otherwise the output would
be silently lost.)

  $ hg log -l1 -q --config pager.pager=
  10:46106edeeb38

Pager with color enabled allows colors to come through by default,
even though stdout is no longer a tty.
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF

#if no-chg
An invalid pager command name is reported sensibly if we don't have to
use shell=True in the subprocess call:
  $ hg log --limit 3 --config pager.pager=this-command-better-never-exist
  missing pager command 'this-command-better-never-exist', skipping pager
  \x1b[0;33mchangeset:   10:46106edeeb38\x1b[0m (esc)

#endif

A complicated pager command gets worse behavior. Bonus points if you can
improve this.
  $ hg log --limit 3 \
  >   --config pager.pager='this-command-better-never-exist --seriously' \

Pager works with shell aliases.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [alias]
  > echoa = !echo a
  > EOF

  $ hg echoa
  a
BROKEN: should be paged
  $ hg --config pager.attend-echoa=yes echoa
  a

Pager works with hg aliases including environment variables.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<'EOF'
  > [alias]
  > printa = log -T "$A\n" -r 0
  > EOF

  $ A=1 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa
  paged! '1\n'
  $ A=2 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa
  paged! '2\n'

Something that's explicitly attended is still not paginated if the
pager is globally set to off using a flag:
  $ A=2 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa --pager=no
  2

Pager should not override the exit code of other commands

  $ cat >> $TESTTMP/fortytwo.py <<'EOF'
  > from mercurial import commands, registrar
  > cmdtable = {}
  > command = registrar.command(cmdtable)
  > @command(b'fortytwo', [], b'fortytwo', norepo=True)
  > def fortytwo(ui, *opts):
  >     ui.write(b'42\n')
  >     return 42
  > EOF

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<'EOF'
  > [extensions]
  > fortytwo = $TESTTMP/fortytwo.py
  > EOF

  $ hg fortytwo --pager=on
  paged! '42\n'
  [42]

A command that asks for paging using ui.pager() directly works:
  $ hg blame a
  paged! ' 0: a\n'
  paged! ' 1: a 1\n'
  paged! ' 2: a 2\n'
  paged! ' 3: a 3\n'
  paged! ' 4: a 4\n'
  paged! ' 5: a 5\n'
  paged! ' 6: a 6\n'
  paged! ' 7: a 7\n'
  paged! ' 8: a 8\n'
  paged! ' 9: a 9\n'
  paged! '10: a 10\n'
but not with HGPLAIN
  $ HGPLAIN=1 hg blame a
   0: a
   1: a 1
   2: a 2
   3: a 3
   4: a 4
   5: a 5
   6: a 6
   7: a 7
   8: a 8
   9: a 9
  10: a 10
explicit flags work too:
  $ hg blame --pager=no a
   0: a
   1: a 1
   2: a 2
   3: a 3
   4: a 4
   5: a 5
   6: a 6
   7: a 7
   8: a 8
   9: a 9
  10: a 10

A command with --output option:

  $ hg cat -r0 a
  paged! 'a\n'
  $ hg cat -r0 a --output=-
