rust: exposing in parsers module
To build with the Rust code, set the HGWITHRUSTEXT
environment variable.
At this point, it's possible to instantiate and use
a rustlazyancestors object from a Python interpreter.
The changes in setup.py are obviously a quick hack,
just good enough to test/bench without much
refactoring. We'd be happy to improve on that with
help from the community.
Rust bindings crate gets compiled as a static library,
which in turn gets linked within 'parsers.so'
With respect to the plans at
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/OxidationPlan
this would probably qualify as "roll our own FFI".
Also, it doesn't quite meet the target of getting
rid of C code, since it brings actually more, yet:
- the new C code does nothing else than parsing
arguments and calling Rust functions.
In particular, there's no complex allocation involved.
- subsequent changes could rewrite more of revlog.c, this
time resulting in an overall decrease of C code and
unsafety.

rust: iterator bindings to C code
In this changeset, still made of Rust code only,
we expose the Rust iterator for instantiation and
consumption from C code.
The idea is that both the index and index_get_parents()
will be passed from the C extension, hence avoiding a hard
link dependency to parsers.so, so that the crate can
still be built and tested independently.
On the other hand, parsers.so will use the symbols
defined in this changeset.

rust: pure Rust lazyancestors iterator
This is the first of a patch series aiming to provide an
alternative implementation in the Rust programming language
of the _lazyancestorsiter from the ancestor module.
This iterator has been brought to our attention by the people at
Octobus, as a potential good candidate for incremental "oxydation"
(rewriting in Rust), because it has shown performance issues lately
and it merely deals with ints (revision numbers) obtained by calling
the index, whih should be directly callable from Rust code,
being itself implemented as a C extension.
The idea behind this series is to provide a minimal example of Rust code
collaborating with existing C and Python code. To open the way to gradually
rewriting more of Mercurial's Python code in Rust, without being forced to pay
a large initial cost of rewriting the existing fast core into Rust.
This patch does not introduce any bindings to other Mercurial code
yet. Instead, it introduces the necessary abstractions to address the problem
independently, and unit-test it.
Since this is the first use of Rust as a Python module within Mercurial,
the hg-core crate gets created within this patch. See its Cargo.toml for more
details.
Someone with a rustc/cargo installation may chdir into rust/hg-core and
run the tests by issuing:
cargo test --lib
The algorithm is a bit simplified (see details in docstrings),
and at its simplest becomes rather trivial, showcasing that Rust has
batteries included too: BinaryHeap, the Rust analog of Python's heapq
does actually all the work.
The implementation can be further optimized and probably be made more
idiomatic Rust.

tests: replace `cd ..` with an absolute path in a couple ssh tests
These tests are broken under py3 on Windows to the point where the `cd ..` was
actually escaping into the system wide $TEMP. The subsequent `hg init` created
a repo there, and then added a local extension to the hgrc. This breaks every
single subsequent test when it tries to `hg init` in its $TESTTMP, and can't
load the localwrite.py extension. And since I botched this the first time and
replaced the wrong `cd ..`, this just replaces all of them. I've noticed test
garbage in $TEMP recently, and maybe this will help.
Perhaps `hg init` shouldn't load the config for the local repo, but this is an
easy enough workaround for now.

lfs: register the flag processors per repository
Previously, enabling the extension for any repo in commandserver or hgweb would
enable the flags on all repos. Since localrepo.resolverevlogstorevfsoptions()
is called so early, the check to see if the extension is enabled on the repo
(which hasn't been instantiated yet) is a bit awkward. But I don't see a better
way.
