merge: avoid dereferencing repo fields repeatedly

merge: skip syntactic path checks in [_checkunknownfile] We don't need to check the paths syntactically, since they are coming from diffing the revisions, so hopefully already checked on the way in. We still need to check what's on the filesystem, to avoid traversing the symlinks or subdirs, which we can't know about statically. Also, we use the directory audit to elide [isfileorlink], this removing ~all lstat calls from hg updates from-empty.

pathutil: use `finddirs_rev_noroot` instead of `parts` The benefit this brings is very tiny, if it's even there, since we still didn't get rid of the [parts] computation. It probably won't be worth it without the subsequent patch that adds one more use of [finddirs_rev_noroot]

pathutil: add the more efficient finddir iterator (to be used in subsequent commits)

typing: import unconditionally This is needed if we're writing python3 signatures.

tests: check how hgweb handles HEAD requests This test file is loosely based on test-hgweb.t. HEAD support originally implemented in fda5a4b853ab.

tests: test hg status --all with hgext/git There's a TODO item in git/dirstate.py about obtaining clean files in a more straightforward way, let's first test that status can and does show clean files at all.

tests: aborting on unknown revision emits exit code 10 even with hgext/git

convert: replace repr() by pycompat.byterepr() in cvsps.py (issue6789)

convert: change socket mode from b'r+' to 'rwb' in cvs.py (issue6789) 'r+' mode used to open sockets for read/write operations, but '+' is not supported in Python 3. We're using bytes with these sockets everywhere, so the mode should have 'b'. But the mode argument has to be str, not bytes.

convert: turn the last str regex into bytes in cvs.py (issue6789) Since root is bytes, the regular expression should also be bytes.

worker: avoid reading 1 byte at a time from the OS pipe Apparently `pickle.load` does a lot of small reads, many of them literally 1-byte, so it benefits greatly from buffering. This change enables the buffering, at the cost of more complicated interaction with the `selector` API. On one repository with ~400k files this reduces the time by about ~30s, from ~60 to ~30s. The difference is so large because the actual updating work is parallellized, while these small reads are bottlenecking the central hg process.
