contrib: widen "direct use of `python`" net again I think I've now caught all of them. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D15

tests: clean up a newly-introduced instance of `python` Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D16

tests: clean up even more direct `python` calls with $PYTHON This time ones that are prefixed with =, ", ', or `. This appears to be the last of them. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D14

contrib: widen the "don't use `python`" net a little I'm still cleaning this up, but it's easier to do in bite-size chunks like this than all at once. The negative lookahead avoids one false positive category from some output related to finding Subversion bindings. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D13

followlines: join merge parents line ranges in blockdescendants() (issue5595) In blockdescendants(), we had an assertion when line range of a merge changeset was not consistent depending on which parent was considered for computation. For instance, this might occur when file content (in lookup range) is significantly different between parent branches of the merge as demonstrated in added tests (where we almost completely rewrite the "baz" file while also introducing similarities with its content in the other branch we later merge to). Now, in such case, we combine line ranges from all parents by storing the envelope of both line ranges. This is conservative (the line range is extended, possibly unnecessarily) but at least this should avoid missing descendants with changes in a range that would fall in that of one parent but not in another one (the case of "baz: narrow change (2->2+)" changeset in tests).

workingfilectx: add exists, lexists Switch the lone call in merge.py to use it. As with past refactors, the goal is to make wctx hot-swappable with an in-memory context in the future. This change should be a no-op today.
