rust-inner-revlog: drop some outdated comment

rust-config: add more ways of reading the config These will be needed for future patches of this series to interpret more complex/different config values.

util: make buffer readonly There is no use of writable buffers anywhere in the code, and this helps us make sure we don't get into unsound territory when sharing memory with Rust. This `toreadonly` method was not available in Python 3.6, but we dropped the support for it earlier that week, so no need for any compatibility code.

setup: avoid the deprecated `distutils.spawn.find_executable` I noticed this was flagged with `DeprecationWarning` in py3.12 with `setuptools` 74.1.2, and it suggested `shutil.which()` instead. The signatures aren't the same, but the additional `mode` argument in the middle of the latter defaults to `os.F_OK | os.X_OK`, which maintains the same semantics.

setup: drop the hack to disable linker warning 4197 on Windows I don't see this when building on Windows with py3.8 or py3.12, so either the code was fixed, or (more likely) the compiler stopped warning about it some time after VS 2008. If we do have to put this back, it would probably be better to put a `#pragma` in a header file somewhere, and avoid `setuptools` technical debt.

ci: also offer to test 3.12 with rust The rust-cpython binding got 3.12 support very recently, it is worse keeping on a tighter watch.

ci: add the option to test more Python versions It seems like a good idea to be able to test the lowest version we support. And there have been enougth issue with 3.12 that we need to be able to make sur we do not break it. We should probably get a matrix setup for more version and flavor, but that is a simple and efficient start.

censor: document the censor.policy option (issue6909) Censor is not marked as experimental and should be documented I am not doing this on stable because the help markup change it is using seems more suitable for default.

help: add :config-doc:`section.key` shorthand to insert documentation The config items defined in the configitems.toml file can already hold their documentation. Having some way to automatically insert it was a long standing low hanging fruit. So I did a first implementation on that. It fairly simple, but it open the door to more. It will be used in the next changeset.

bzr: attempt to stabilize the test The test has flakyness where the order of a few commit swap. This is an attempt at avoiding that.

branching: merge with stable

profiling: use "stat" profiler to profile individual request The ls profiler no longer works for that. As the lsprof profiler is not default and not great is general, lets side step the issue for now.

profiling: improve 3.12 error message for calling lsprof twice Python 3.12 prevent lsprof to be enabled if it is already enabled. This break the use of lsprof in `hg serve` as both the initial `serve` command and the request serving want to profile. The "stat" profiler (the default) does not have this problem, so we focus on improving the error message for now.

test: display server error log in test-profile.t This will help us to catch error with Python 3.12

archive: defer opening the output until a file is matched Before, if no file is matched, an error is thrown, but the archive is created anyway. When using hgweb, an error 500 is returned as the response body already exists when the error is seen. Afterwards, the archive is created before the first match is emitted. If no match is found, no archive is created. This is more consistent behavior as an empty archive is not a representable in all output formats, e.g. tar archives.

run-tests: add color to the progress output More color is useful to me.

python-compat: drop support for Python3.6 and 3.7 As discussed on the mailing list¹, these are old version that seems safe to drop. Python 3.8 comes with various improvement especially regarding typing capabilities. [1] https://lists.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2024-July/297998.html

ci: drop path manipulation that we do not need anymore The CI image has a squarer setup now.

brancing: merge stable into default

setup: handle removal of old MSVC compiler from setuptools 65.0 (issue6910) It was removed a few years ago[1]. When trying to reproduce locally using a clean py3.12 as called out in the bug report, `setuptools` wasn't installed at all, and needed a `pip install` to fix a `ModuleNotFoundError` when building locally. Maybe that needs to be in the requirements clause now. It looks like this "private" module was added in setuptools 48.0.[2] I can't find a changelog of what version was included in which version of python, and the changelog for pip has a huge gap between when it called out 67.6.1 in `pip` 23.1 (2023-04-15), and 41.4.0 in `pip` 19.3 (2019-10-14).[3] So, we'll just add to the existing code instead of replacing it, for safety.

utils: accept bytearray arguments for escapestr

http: simplify

http: use urllib's cookie handler Split the logic for loading the cookies based on the configuration in a helper function and otherwise use the library implementation directly.

http: reuse Python's implementation of read/readline/readinto Since Python 3 already provides a working implementation of readline, there is no need for our own buffering implementation. Reduce the code to transfer accounting only.

debugwireproto: redo logging to also work for https

urllib2: redo response.readlines addition via class patching

typing: lock in new pytype gains from making revlog related classes typeable These were pretty clean changes in the pyi files from earlier in this series, so add them to the code to make it more understandable. There's one more trivial hint that can be added to the return of `mercurial.revlogutils.rewrite._filelog_from_filename()`, however it needs to be imported from '..' under the conditional of `typing.TYPE_CHECKING`, and that seems to confuse the import checker- possibly because there's already an import block from that level. (I would have expected a message about multiple import statements in this case, but got one about higher level imports should come first, no matter where I put the import statement.)

typing: add types to `revlog.revlogproblem` These attrs showed as `Any` after the previous commit made the class visible to pytype.

typing: make the revlog classes known to pytype These are the same changes as c1d7ac70980b and 45270e286bdc made to dirstate, for the same reasons.

typing: make the manifest classes known to pytype These are the same changes as c1d7ac70980b and 45270e286bdc made to dirstate, for the same reasons. The migration away from decorating the classes with `@interfaceutil.implementer` was started back in 3e9a660b074a, but missed one.
