rhg-cat: fallback when detecting `.` or `..` path segments
We do not normalize paths correctly yet, so exclude the shortcuts.

rhg: add support for calling `rhg cat` without a revision
Turns out the necessary pieces were there already.
Like the Python implementation, we default to the first parent of the dirstate.

windows-ci: temporarily allow Windows jobs to fail
We have unfortunately ran out of free credit on the runners we were using from
OVH for the Windows CI. We will be disabling the two remaining ones on the 30th
of September, hence we need the CI to pass even if Windows jobs cannot start as
a temporary measure. Hopefully we can find another way of getting Windows
runners soon.

dirstate: Remove the Rust abstraction DirstateMapMethods
This Rust trait used to exist in order to allow the DirstateMap class exposed
to Python to be backed by either of two implementations: one similar to the
Python implementation based on a "flat" `HashMap<HgPathBuf, DirstateEntry>`,
and the newer one based on a tree of nodes matching the directory structure
of tracked files. A boxed trait object was used with dynamic dispatch.
With the flat implementation removed and only the tree one remaining, this
abstraction is not useful anymore and the concrete type can be stored directly.
It remains that the trait was implemented separately for `DirstateMap<'_>`
(which takes a lifetime parameter) and `OwningDirstateMap` (whose job is to
wrap the former and hide the lifetime parameter), with the latter impl only
forwarding calls.
This changeset also removes this forwarding. Instead, the methods formerly of
the `DirstateMapMethods` trait are now inherent methods implemented for
`OwningDirstateMap` (where they will actually be used) but in the module that
defines `DirstateMap`. This unusual setup gives access to the private fields
of `DirstateMap` from those methods.

dirstate: Remove the flat Rust DirstateMap implementation
Before this changeset we had two Rust implementations of `DirstateMap`.
This removes the "flat" DirstateMap so that the "tree" DirstateMap is always
used when Rust enabled. This simplifies the code a lot, and will enable
(in the next changeset) further removal of a trait abstraction.
This is a performance regression when:
* Rust is enabled, and
* The repository uses the legacy dirstate-v1 file format, and
* For `hg status`, unknown files are not listed (such as with `-mard`)
The regression is about 100 milliseconds for `hg status -mard` on a
semi-large repository (mozilla-central), from ~320ms to ~420ms.
We deem this to be small enough to be worth it.
The new dirstate-v2 is still experimental at this point, but we aim to
stabilize it (though not yet enable it by default for new repositories)
in Mercurial 6.0. Eventually, upgrating repositories to dirsate-v2 will
eliminate this regression (and enable other performance improvements).
# Background
The flat DirstateMap was introduced with the first Rust implementation of the
status algorithm. It works similarly to the previous Python + C one, with a
single `HashMap` that associates file paths to a `DirstateEntry` (where Python
has a dict).
We later added the tree DirstateMap where the root of the tree contains nodes
for files and directories that are directly at the root of the repository,
and nodes for directories can contain child nodes representing the files and
directly that *they* contain directly. The shape of this tree mirrors that of
the working directory in the filesystem. This enables the status algorithm to
traverse this tree in tandem with traversing the filesystem tree, which in
turns enables a more efficient algorithm.
Furthermore, the new dirstate-v2 file format is also based on a tree of the
same shape. The tree DirstateMap can access a dirstate-v2 file without parsing
it: binary data in a single large (possibly memory-mapped) bytes buffer is
traversed on demand. This allows `DirstateMap` creation to take `O(1)` time.
(Mutation works by creating new in-memory nodes with copy-on-write semantics,
and serialization is append-mostly.)
The tradeoff is that for "legacy" repositories that use the dirstate-v1 file
format, parsing that file into a tree DirstateMap takes more time. Profiling
shows that this time is dominated by `HashMap`. For a dirstate containing `F`
files with an average `D` directory depth, the flat DirstateMap does parsing
in `O(F)` number of HashMap operations but the tree DirstateMap in `O(F × D)`
operations, since each node has its own HashMap containing its child nodes.
This slower costs ~140ms on an old snapshot of mozilla-central, and ~80ms
on an old snapshot of the Netbeans repository.
The status algorithm is faster, but with `-mard` (when not listing unknown
files) it is typically not faster *enough* to compensate the slower parsing.
Both Rust implementations are always faster than the Python + C implementation
# Benchmark results
All benchmarks are run on changeset
98c0408324e6, with repositories that use
the dirstate-v1 file format, on a server with 4 CPU cores and 4 CPU threads
(no HyperThreading).
`hg status` benchmarks show wall clock times of the entire command as the
average and standard deviation of serveral runs, collected by
https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine and reformated.
Parsing benchmarks are wall clock time of the Rust function that converts a
bytes buffer of the dirstate file into the `DirstateMap` data structure as
used by the status algorithm. A single run each, collected by running
`hg status` this environment variable:
