devel: activate default-date in tests It will make writing future tests more easier for everyone as we won't need to glob dates anymore in tests.

devel: add a config field to force dates to timestamp 0 Add a new config field named default-date under the devel section to force all implicits date to a specific value. If a explicit date is passed, it will override the default. This patch only affect changesets. Other usages (blackbox, obsmarkers) are updated in later patchs. The test runner is setting a bunch of alias to force the '--date' argument. We will replace theses aliases in a later patch.

ui: add the possiblity to get a date config field Add the method configdate to read a date from configuration. It uses the util.rawparsedate refactored earlier to support all standard date formats.

util: refactor util.parsedate to raises ValueError Split most of util.parsedate in util.rawparsedate and make it raises ValueError instead of error.Abort. The util.parsedate function is now just a shell function converting ValueError to error.Abort for existing users. I need to parse a date from config in a later patch and use util.rawparsedate with ui.configwith which expect a convert that raises ValueError.

match: implement __repr__() and update users (API) fsmonitor and debugignore currently access matcher fields that I would consider implementation details, namely patternspat, includepat, and excludepat. Let' instead implement __repr__() and have the few users use that instead. Marked (API) because the fields can now be None.

fsmonitor: fix silly "*kwargs" bug in merge.update() override Everyone knows that it's supposed to be spelled with two asterisks. It started failing in fad5e299cfc7 (update: accept --merge to allow merging across topo branches (issue5125), 2017-02-13) because until then there was only one argument that was covered by the kwargs, so *kwargs or **kwargs both worked (or at least that's what I think with my limited understanding of Python).
