test-chg: use a different log to avoid flakyness The test was deleting the log file to start anew. However a trailing working process might still be alive at this time, and recreate the very same log on exit. We see the trace of such worker in the expected content of server.log (see the trace modified by this patch). This is flaky because we don't know *when* the worker will write to the file and there is a race with the `hg init cached` command. A much simpler and reliable way to start anew without having such race is… to write to a different log file. No reuse → no conflict, no conflict → no race, no race → no flakiness.

dirstate-v2: complain early on docket name collision The alternative is that the dirstate gets deleted so the corruption persists and is hard to investigate. This happened to me in tests, where the dirstate names are taken from file, since the file got reverted. I expect this can also happen in prod with non-trivial probability (1/4 billion).

rhg: fix a bug in path_encode This makes rhg able to access long paths at the root of the tree just fine.

rhg: demonstrate a bug in path_encode The bug means that long filenames at the root of the tree are encoded incorrectly by rhg, so rhg crashes when trying to access them.

rhg: nicer error message

typing: add type hints to argument checking functions in cmdutil These might be surprising, since they can take strings instead of bytes. The way `AnyStr` works is that it must be all bytes or all str for any given invocation. The wildcard here will be the `opts` that get passed in- if the type is unknown and defaults to `Any`, there's no enforcement that the dict key type matches the additional args. But a lot of uses should be using `**opts` from the command method, which has a str key. The uses of these methods in this module are now typed because their internals force a specific type, and it can't just be inferred from the caller.

setup: further improve the error path for version retrieval This is a new take at the problem that 8d390a13474d tried to tackle. There was two issues after that previous improvement: - the 0.0+ version could survive a bit too long and reaching the installer version and staying there. - multiple use case where still failing. So the new code is better at: - always succeeding when running `make local` so that we can bootstrap a local version - no using that fallback outside of `make local` to avoid distribution of version with the buggy version number. The setup.py is a gigantic pile of spaghetti code, to the point where pastafarian pilgrim started knocking at its core. However I refrained from cleaning that up since the more to a `setup.cfg` means this code should be deleted soon™.
