osutil: implement setprocname to set process title for some platforms This patch adds a simple setprocname method to osutil. The operation is not defined by any standard and is platform-specific, the current implementation tries to cover some major platforms (ex. Linux, OS X, FreeBSD) that is relatively easy to support. Other platforms (Windows [4], other BSDs, ...) can be added in the future. The current implementation supports two methods to change process title: a. setproctitle if available (works in FreeBSD). b. rewrite argv in place (works in Linux [1] and Mac OS X). [2] [3] [1]: Linux has "prctl(PR_SET_NAME, ...)" but 1) it has 16-byte limit, which is too small; 2) it is not quite equivalent to what we want - it changes "/proc/self/comm", not "/proc/self/cmdline" - "comm" change won't show up in "ps" output unless "-o comm" is used. [2]: The implementation does not rewrite the **environ buffer like some other implementations do, just to make the code simpler and safer. However, this also means the buffer size we can rewrite is significantly shorter. If we are really greedy and want the "environ" space, we can change the implementation later. [3]: It requires a CPython private API: Py_GetArgcArgv to get the original argv. Unfortunately Python 3 makes a copy of argv and returns the wchar_t version, so it is not supported for now. (if we really want to, we could count backwards from "char **environ", given known argc and argv, not sure if that's a good idea - probably not) [4]: The feature is aimed to make it easier for forked command server processes to show what they are doing. Since Windows does not support fork(), despite it's a major platform, its support is not added in this patch.

setup: test setproctitle before building osutil We are going to use setproctitle (provided by FreeBSD) if it's available in the next patch. Therefore provide a macro to give some clues to the C pre-processor so it could choose code path wisely.

patch: remove unused git parameter from patch.diffstat() Since 628a4a9e411d the parameter is not used anymore.

perf: add asv benchmarks Airspeed velocity (ASV) is a python framework for benchmarking Python packages over their lifetime. The results are displayed in an interactive web frontend. Add ASV benchmarks for mercurial that use contrib/perf.py extension that could be run against multiple reference repositories. The benchmark suite now includes revsets from contrib/base-revsets.txt with variants, perftags, perfstatus, perfmanifest and perfheads. Installation requires asv>=0.2, python-hglib and virtualenv This is part of PerformanceTrackingSuitePlan https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/PerformanceTrackingSuitePlan
