revset: add regular expression support to 'desc'
This is a case insensitive predicate like 'author', so it conforms to the
existing behavior of performing a case insensitive regex.

revset: stop lowercasing the regex pattern for 'author'
It was probably unintentional for regex, as the meaning of some sequences like
\S and \s is actually inverted by changing the case. For backward compatibility
however, the matching is forced to case insensitive.

repair: clean up stale lock file from store backup
Since we did a directory rename on the stores, the source
repository's lock path now references the dest repository's
lock path and the dest repository's lock path now references
a non-existent filename.
So releasing the lock on the source will unlock the dest and
releasing the lock on the dest will no-op because it fails due
to file not found. So we clean up the dest's lock manually.

repair: copy non-revlog store files during upgrade
The store contains more than just revlogs. This patch teaches the
upgrade code to copy regular files as well.
As the test changes demonstrate, the phaseroots file is now copied.

repair: migrate revlogs during upgrade
Our next step for in-place upgrade is to migrate store data. Revlogs
are the biggest source of data within the store and a store is useless
without them, so we implement their migration first.
Our strategy for migrating revlogs is to walk the store and call
`revlog.clone()` on each revlog. There are some minor complications.
Because revlogs have different storage options (e.g. changelog has
generaldelta and delta chains disabled), we need to obtain the
correct class of revlog so inserted data is encoded properly for its
type.
Various attempts at implementing progress indicators that didn't lead
to frustration from false "it's almost done" indicators were made.
I initially used a single progress bar based on number of revlogs.
However, this quickly churned through all filelogs, got to 99% then
effectively froze at 99.99% when it got to the manifest.
So I converted the progress bar to total revision count. This was a
little bit better. But the manifest was still significantly slower
than filelogs and it took forever to process the last few percent.
I then tried both revision/chunk bytes and raw bytes as the
denominator. This had the opposite effect: because so much data is in
manifests, it would churn through filelogs without showing much
progress. When it got to manifests, it would fill in 90+% of the
progress bar.
I finally gave up having a unified progress bar and instead implemented
3 progress bars: 1 for filelog revisions, 1 for manifest revisions, and
1 for changelog revisions. I added extra messages indicating the total
number of revisions of each so users know there are more progress bars
coming.
I also added extra messages before and after each stage to give extra
details about what is happening. Strictly speaking, this isn't
necessary. But the numbers are impressive. For example, when converting
a non-generaldelta mozilla-central repository, the messages you see are:
migrating 2475593 total revisions (1833043 in filelogs, 321156 in manifests, 321394 in changelog)
migrating 1.67 GB in store; 2508 GB tracked data
migrating 267868 filelogs containing 1833043 revisions (1.09 GB in store; 57.3 GB tracked data)
finished migrating 1833043 filelog revisions across 267868 filelogs; change in size: -415776 bytes
migrating 1 manifests containing 321156 revisions (518 MB in store; 2451 GB tracked data)
That "2508 GB" figure really blew me away. I had no clue that the raw
tracked data in mozilla-central was that large. Granted, 2451 GB is in
the manifest and "only" 57.3 GB is in filelogs. But still.
It's worth noting that gratuitous loading of source revlogs in order
to display numbers and progress bars does serve a purpose: it ensures
we can open all source revlogs. We don't want to spend several minutes
copying revlogs only to encounter a permissions error or similar later.
As part of this commit, we also add swapping of the store directory
to the upgrade function. After revlogs are converted, we move the
old store into the backup directory then move the temporary repo's
store into the old store's location. On well-behaved systems, this
should be 2 atomic operations and the window of inconsistency show be
very narrow.
There are still a few improvements to be made to store copying and
upgrading. But this commit gets the bulk of the work out of the way.

revlog: add clone method
Upcoming patches will introduce functionality for in-place
repository/store "upgrades." Copying the contents of a revlog
feels sufficiently low-level to warrant being in the revlog
class. So this commit implements that functionality.
Because full delta recomputation can be *very* expensive (we're
talking several hours on the Firefox repository), we support
multiple modes of execution with regards to delta (re)use. This
will allow repository upgrades to choose the "level" of
processing/optimization they wish to perform when converting
revlogs.
It's not obvious from this commit, but "addrevisioncb" will be
used for progress reporting.
