merge: fix race that could cause wrong size in dirstate
The problem is that hg merge/update/etc work the following way:
1. figure out what files to update
2. apply the update to disk
3. apply the update to in-memory dirstate
4. write dirstate
where step3 looks at the filesystem and assumes it sees the result of
step2. If a file is changed between step2 and step3, step3 will record
incorrect information in the dirstate.
I avoid this by passing the size step3 needs directly from step2, for
the common path (not implemented for change/delete conflicts for
instance).
I didn't fix the same race for the exec bit for now, because it's less
likely to be problematic and I had trouble due to the fact that the
dirstate stores the permissions differently from the manifest (st_mode
vs '' 'l' 'x'), in combination with tests that pretend that symlinks
are not supported.
However, I moved the lstat from step3 to step2, which should tighten
the race window markedly, both for the exec bit and for the mtime.

worker: support parallelization of functions with return values
Currently worker supports running functions that return a progress
iterator. Generalize it to handle function that return a progress
iterator then a return value.
It's unused in this commit, but will be used in the next one.

tests: show how the dirstate can end up containing wrong information
which can result in bad status output.
Concretely, this seems to be easily triggered by having a build system
watching the filesystem for changes, and rebuilding files that are
both tracked and generated while an update is happening.

rust: new rust options in setup.py
The --rust global option turns on usage (and by default compilation)
of the rust-cpython based mercurial.rustext.
Similarly to what's previously done for zstd, there is a --no-rust
option for the build_ext subcommand in order not to build
mercurial.rustext, allowing for an OS distribution to prebuild it.
The HGWITHRUSTEXT environment variable is still honored, and has
the same effect as before, but now it works mostly by making
the --rust global option defaulting to True, with some special
cases for the direct-ffi case (see more about that below)
Coincidentally, the --rust flag can also be passed from the make
commands, like actually all global options, in the PURE variable
make local PURE=--rust
This feels inappropriate, though, and we should follow up with
a proper make variable for that case.
Although the direct-ffi bindings aren't directly useful any more, we
keep them at this stage because
- they provide a short prototyping path for experiments in which a C extension
module has to call into a Rust extension. The proper way of doing that would
be to use capsules, and it's best to wait for our pull request onto
rust-cpython for that: https://github.com/dgrunwald/rust-cpython/pull/169
- Build support for capsules defined in Rust will probably need to reuse
some of what's currently in use for direct-ffi.

rust: using policy.importrust from Python callers
This commit converts all current Python callers of
mercurial.rustext to the new policy.importrust system.
After this point, going through policy.importrust
or policy.importmod (in some more distant future)
is mandatory for callers of Rust code outside of
Python tests.
We felt it to be appropriate to keep Rust-specific tests
run inconditionally if the Rust extensions are present.

rust: module policy with importrust
We introduce two rust+c module policies and a new
`policy.importrust()` that makes use of them.
This simple approach provides runtime switching of
implementations, which is crucial for the performance
measurements such as those Octobus does with ASV.
It can also be useful for bug analysis.
It also has the advantage of making conditionals in
Rust callers more uniform, in particular
abstracting over specifics like `demandimport`
At this point, the build stays unchanged, with the rust-cpython based
`rustext` module being built if HGWITHRUSTEXT=cpython.
More transparency for the callers, i.e., just using
`policy.importmod` would be a much longer term and riskier
effort for the following reasons:
1. It would require to define common module boundaries
for the three or four cases (pure, c, rust+ext, cffi) and that
is premature with the Rust extension currently under heavy
development in areas that are outside the scope of the C extensions.
2. It would imply internal API changes that are not currently wished,
as the case of ancestors demonstrates.
3. The lack of data or property-like attributes (tp_member
and tp_getset) in current `rust-cpython` makes it impossible to
achieve direct transparent replacement of pure Python classes by
Rust extension code, meaning that the caller sometimes has to be able
to make adjustments or provide additional wrapping.

help: add help entry for internals.mergestate
This patch adds an entry for `internals.mergestate` as suggested
by @marmoute. Most of the help text is taken from `merge.mergestate`.

phabricator: use parents.set to always set dependencies
Now that Mercurial's Phabricator instance has been updated to a version that
supports the parents.set transaction on revision.edit we can use that to set
dependency relationships in patch stacks instead of abusing the summary.
This has the advantage that we can use it on every `phabsend` so commit
reordering is picked up without spamming changes like abusing the summary would,
and using parents.set will clear previous parents unlike parents.add.

rebase: tweak description of inmemory working even w/ dirty working dir
One of our users was confused because they read this, and then attempted to run
`hg rebase` with a dirty working directory, and it still complained. The reason
was that they were attempting to rebase the commit they currently had checked
out, which (at least with evolve workflows enabled) involves updating the
working directory to be based on the newly rebased commit.
