test-commandserver: change way of triggering early crash Future patches will move the logging facility out of the server class, so cmdserver.log can't be (ab)used for this purpose. Instead, let's hook the factory function to raise exception.

loggingutil: add basic logger backends These classes will be used in command server. They are similar to the blackboxlogger, but it can't be factored out since the blackbox is so tightly coupled with a repo object.

hgweb: register web.comparisoncontext to the config table This was caught in some server side logging added to debug py3 issues.

rebase: fix path auditing to audit path relative to repo root (issue5818) Before this patch, when rebasing a file called "foo/bar", we would check e.g. if "/foo" (i.e. rooted at the file system root) was a symlink. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5361

tests: show bad path auditing in in-memory rebase Thanks to Yuya for providing this test case in https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5818. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5368

tests: add a missing "cd .." to test-rebase-inmemory.t Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5367

rust: fix possible out-of-bounds read through index_get_parents() index_get_parents() is an internal function, which doesn't check if the specified rev is valid. If rustlazyancestors() were instantiated with an invalid stoprev, it would access to invalid memory region. This is NOT a security fix as there's no Python code triggering the bug, but included in this series to not give a notion about the memory issue fixed by the previous patch.
