localrepo: define "features" on repository instances (API) There are a handful of attributes/methods on repository instances that describe the behavior of the repository. Furthermore, there is an unbound set of repository descriptors that we may wish to expose. For example, an extension may wish to add a descriptor and have monkeypatched functions look for the presence of an attribute before taking actions. This commit introduces a "features" mechanism to allow repositories to self-advertise an arbitrary set of strings that describe repository behavior or capabilities. We implement basic support for advertising a few features to give an idea of what I want to use this for. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4709

localrepo: support writing shared file (API) Now that we can create a shared repository via creation options, we can handle other special actions related to share at repo creation time as well. One of the things we do after creating a shared repository is write out a .hg/shared file containing the list of additional things to share. Of which only "bookmarks" is supported. We add a creation option to hold the set of additional items to share. If items are defined, we write out the .hg/shared file at repo creation time. As part of this, we no longer hold the repo lock when writing the file. I'm pretty sure we don't care about the tiny race condition window. I'm also pretty sure the reason we used the lock was because the vfs auditor on the repo instance complained otherwise. Since the repo creation code doesn't have an audited vfs, we don't need to appease it. Because we no longer need to tell the post share hook what items are shared, the "bookmarks" argument to that function has been dropped, incurring an API change.
