localrepo: move some vfs initialization out of __init__
In order to make repository types more dynamic, we'll need to move the
logic for determining repository behavior out of
localrepository.__init__ so we can influence behavior before the type
is instantiated.
This commit starts that process by moving working directory and .hg/
vfs initialization to our new standalone function for instantiating
local repositories.
Aside from API changes, behavior should be fully backwards compatible.
.. api::
localrepository.__init__ now does less work and accepts new args
Use ``hg.repository()``, ``localrepo.instance()``, or
``localrepo.makelocalrepository()`` to obtain a new local repository
instance instead of calling the ``localrepository`` constructor
directly.

localrepo: create new function for instantiating a local repo object
Today, there is a single local repository class - localrepository. Its
__init__ is responsible for loading the .hg/requires file and taking
different actions depending on what is present.
In addition, extensions may define a "reposetup" function that
monkeypatches constructed repository instances, often by implementing
a derived type and changing the __class__ of the repo instance.
Work around alternate storage backends and partial clone has made it
clear to me that shoehorning all this logic into __init__ and operating
on an existing instance is too convoluted. For example, localrepository
assumes revlog storage and swapping in non-revlog storage requires
overriding e.g. file() to return something that isn't a revlog. I've
authored various patches that either:
a) teach various methods (like file()) about different states and
taking the appropriate code path at run-time
b) create methods/attributes/callables used for instantiating things
and populating these in __init__
"a" incurs run-time performance penalties and makes code more
complicated since various functions have a bunch of "if storage is X"
branches.
"b" makes localrepository quickly explode in complexity.
My plan for tackling this problem is to make the local repository type
more dynamic. Instead of a static localrepository class/type that
supports all of the local repository configurations (revlogs vs other,
revlogs with ellipsis, revlog v1 versus revlog v2, etc), we'll
dynamically construct a type providing the implementations that are
needed for the repository on disk, derived from the .hg/requires file
and configuration options. The constructed repository type will be
specialized and methods won't need to be taught about different
implementations nor overloaded.
We may also leverage this functionality for building types that don't
implement all attributes. For example, the "intents" feature allows
commands to declare that they are read only. By dynamically
constructing a repository type, we could return a repository instance
with no attributes related to mutating the repository. This could
include things like a "changelog" property implementation that doesn't
check whether it needs to invalidate the hidden revisions set on every
access.
This commit establishes a function for building a local repository
instance. Future commits will start moving functionality from
localrepository.__init__ to this function. Then we'll start dynamically
changing the returned type depending on options that are present.
This change may seem radical. But it should be fully compatible with
the reposetup() model - at least for now.

transaction: make entries a private attribute (API)
This attribute is tracking changes to append-only files. It is
an implementation detail and should not be exposed as part of
the public interface.
But code in repair was accessing it, so it seemingly does belong
as part of the public API. But that code in repair is making
assumptions about how storage works and is grossly wrong when
alternate storage backends are in play. We'll need some kind of
"strip" API at the storage layer that knows how to handle things
in a storage-agnostic manner. I don't think accessing a private
attribute on the transaction is any worse than what this code
is already doing. So I'm fine with violating the abstraction for
transactions.
And with this change, all per-instance attributes on transaction
have been made private except for "changes" and "hookargs." Both
are used by multiple consumers and look like they need to be
part of the public interface.
.. api::
Various attributes of ``transaction.transaction`` are now ``_``
prefixed to indicate they shouldn't be used by external
consumers.

transaction: make names a private attribute
This is used to report the transaction name in __repr__. It is
very obviously an implementation detail and doesn't need to be
exposed as part of the public interface. So mark it as private.

This is used to track which files are modified. It is an
implementation detail of current transactions and doesn't need

transaction: make report a private attribute
This is a callable used for logging. It isn't used outside the
transaction code. It doesn't need to be part of the public interface.
Let's mark it as private.
