stdio: catch StdioError in dispatch.run and clean up appropriately
We attempt to report what went wrong, and more importantly exit the
program with an error code.
(The exception we catch is not yet raised anywhere in the code.)

stdio: add machinery to identify failed stdout/stderr writes
Mercurial currently fails to notice failures to write to stdout or
stderr. A correctly functioning command line tool should detect
this and exit with an error code.
To achieve this, we need a little extra plumbing, which we start
adding here.

ui: add special-purpose atexit functionality
In spite of its longstanding use, Python's built-in atexit code is
not suitable for Mercurial's purposes, for several reasons:
* Handlers run after application code has finished.
* Because of this, the code that runs handlers swallows exceptions
(since there's no possible stacktrace to associate errors with).
If we're lucky, we'll get something spat out to stderr (if stderr
still works), which of course isn't any use in a big deployment
where it's important that exceptions get logged and aggregated.
* Mercurial's current atexit handlers make unfortunate assumptions
about process state (specifically stdio) that, coupled with the
above problems, make it impossible to deal with certain categories
of error (try "hg status > /dev/full" on a Linux box).
* In Python 3, the atexit implementation is completely hidden, so
we can't hijack the platform's atexit code to run handlers at a
time of our choosing.
As a result, here's a perfectly cromulent atexit-like implementation
over which we have control. This lets us decide exactly when the
handlers run (after each request has completed), and control what
the process state is when that occurs (and afterwards).

context: follow all branches in blockdescendants()
In the initial implementation of blockdescendants (and thus followlines(...,
descend=True) revset), only the first branch encountered in descending
direction was followed.
Update the algorithm so that all children of a revision ('x' in code) are
considered. Accordingly, we need to prevent a child revision to be yielded
multiple times when it gets visited through different path, so we skip 'i'
when this occurs. Finally, since we now consider all parents of a possible
child touching a given line range, we take care of yielding the child if it
has a diff in specified line range with at least one of its parent (same logic
as blockancestors()).
