tests: make run-tests exit non-zero if there are "errors"
Previously, if there was an error such as a broken .t file that caused
run-tests.py to encounter an exception during parsing, the test would be
considered in an "errored" state, which is separate from "failed".
The check for whether to exit non-zero or not was based entirely on whether
there were any tests in a "failed" state, so if there was only an error,
run-tests would exit with 0. Our test infrastructure would then consider the
test as passing, causing us to have some tests with false negatives that have
gone undetected for a few weeks now.

manifest: avoid corruption by dropping removed files with pure (
issue5801)
Previously, removed files would simply be marked by overwriting the first byte
with NUL and dropping their entry in `self.position`. But no effort was made to
ignore them when compacting the dictionary into text form. This allowed them to
slip into the manifest revision, since the code seems to be trying to minimize
the string operations by copying as large a chunk as possible. As part of this,
compact() walks the existing text based on entries in the `positions` list, and
consumed everything up to the next position entry. This typically resulted in
a ValueError complaining about unsorted manifest entries.
Sometimes it seems that files do get dropped in large repos- it seems to
correspond to there being a new entry that would take the same slot. A much
more trivial problem is that if the only changes were removals, `_compact()`
didn't even run because `__delitem__` doesn't add anything to `self.extradata`.
Now there's an explicit variable to flag this, both to allow `_compact()` to
run, and to avoid searching the manifest in cases where there are no removals.
In practice, this behavior was mostly obscured by the check in fastdelta() which
takes a different path that explicitly drops removed files if there are fewer
than 1000 changes. However, timeless has a repo where after rebasing tens of
commits, a totally different path[1] is taken that bypasses the change count
check and hits this problem.

context: add ctx.files{modified,added,removed}() methods
Changeset-centric copy tracing is currently very slow because it often
reads manifests. One place it needs the manifest is in _chain(), where
it removes a copy X->Y if Y has subsequently gotten removed. I want to
speed that up by keeping track directly in the changeset of which
files are removed in the changeset. These methods will be similar to
ctx.p[12]copies() in that way: they will either read from the
changeset or calculate the information from the manifests otherwise.
Note that these are different from ctx.{modified,added,removed}() on
merge commits. Those functions always compare to p1, but the new ones
compare to both parents. filesadded() means "file does not exist in
either parent but exists now", filesremoved() means "file existed in
either parent but does not exist now", and filesmodified() means "file
existed in either parent and still exists". The set of files in
ctx.files() is the union of the files from the three new functions
(and the three new ones are all disjoint sets).
Also note that uncommitted merges are weird as usual. The invariant
mentioned above still holds, but the functions compare to p1 (and are
thus identical to the existing methods).

The function now has two clearly defined steps. The first step is the

discovery: slowly increase sampling size
Some pathological discovery runs can requires many roundtrip. When this happens
things can get very slow.
To make the algorithm more resilience again such pathological case. We slowly
increase the sample size with each roundtrip (+5%). This will have a negligible
impact on "normal" discovery with few roundtrips, but a large positive impact of
case with many roundtrips. Asking more question per roundtrip helps to reduce
the undecided set faster. Instead of reducing the undecided set a linear speed
(in the worst case), we reduce it as a guaranteed (small) exponential rate. The
data below show this slow ramp up in sample size:
round trip | 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 100 | 130 |
sample size | 200 | 254 | 321 | 517 | 2 199 | 25 123 | 108 549 |
covered nodes | 200 | 1 357 | 2 821 | 7 031 | 42 658 | 524 530 | 2 276 755 |
To be a bit more concrete, lets take a very pathological case as an example. We
are doing discovery from a copy of Mozilla-try to a more recent version of
mozilla-unified. Mozilla-unified heads are unknown to the mozilla-try repo and
there are over 1 million "missing" changesets. (the discovery is "local" to
avoid network interference)
Without this change, the discovery:
- last 1858 seconds (31 minutes),
- does 1700 round trip,
- asking about 340 000 nodes.
With this change, the discovery:
- last 218 seconds (3 minutes, 38 seconds a -88% improvement),
- does 94 round trip (-94%),
- asking about 344 211 nodes (+1%).
Of course, this is an extreme case (and 3 minutes is still slow). However this
give a good example of how this sample size increase act as a safety net
catching any bad situations.
We could image a steeper increase than 5%. For example 10% would give the
following number:
round trip | 1 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 75 | 100 |
sample size | 200 | 321 | 514 | 1 326 | 23 060 | 249 812 | 2 706 594 |
covered nodes | 200 | 1 541 | 3 690 | 12 671 | 251 871 | 2 746 254 | 29 770 966 |
In parallel, it is useful to understand these pathological cases and improve
them. However the current change provides a general purpose safety net to smooth
the impact of pathological cases.
To avoid issue with older http server, the increase in sample size only occurs
if the protocol has not limit on command argument size.

consistency. It also seems safer to do it there, just before we write
them to the store. That way other callers won't be able to create
invalid commits (or whatever the consequence is) by passing in
unsorted lists. Also, alternative storages may not care that the lists
are sorted. I don't think this will be a performance problem (someone

tests: fix test-clonebundles on recent openbsd
I guess openbsd feels like it needs to stringify this errno in
lowercase and omit the "host" part of "hostname. Okay.
Reported in a big test diff talking about libressl, see 6122. I'm not
flagging this because most of that issue is about a libressl string
change, so this doesn't really make a big difference there.

rust-python3: compatibility fix for integer conversion
On python3, `to_py_object()` on the usize gives us a PyLong,
whereas it is the generic `PyObject` already on python2, which fits
the `py.None()` default value.
Upcasting to `PyObject` explicitely in all cases solves the issue.

py3: make contrib/testparseutil.py to work on str(unicodes)
contrib/check-code work on unicodes and call functions from testparseutil.py
which before this patch used to work on bytes.
This path removes that inconsistency and make testparseutil.py work on unicodes.
This makes test-check-code.t and test-contrib-check-code.t work on Python 3
again.
