encoding: add fast path of jsonescape() (issue5533) This isn't highly optimized as it copies characters one by one, but seems reasonably simple and not slow. (with mercurial repo) $ export HGRCPATH=/dev/null HGPLAIN= $ hg log --time --config experimental.stabilization=all -Tjson > /dev/null (original) time: real 6.830 secs (user 6.740+0.000 sys 0.080+0.000) time: real 6.690 secs (user 6.650+0.000 sys 0.040+0.000) time: real 6.700 secs (user 6.640+0.000 sys 0.060+0.000) (this patch) time: real 5.630 secs (user 5.550+0.000 sys 0.070+0.000) time: real 5.700 secs (user 5.650+0.000 sys 0.050+0.000) time: real 5.690 secs (user 5.640+0.000 sys 0.050+0.000)

encoding: extract stub for fast JSON escape This moves JSON character maps to pure/charencode.py because they will be used only when the fast-path fails.
