progress: avoid ui.configbool() lookup when progress bar is active Profiling revealed that the ui.configbool('progress', 'debug') during progress bar updates was consuming a significant amount of overhead. This commit adds an attribute on progress bar instances that caches this config option. The impact on `hg perfprogress` with default options is significant: before: ! wall 4.641942 comb 4.580000 user 4.210000 sys 0.370000 (best of 3) after: ! wall 1.948626 comb 1.950000 user 1.950000 sys 0.000000 (best of 5) After this change, profiling reveals that progress.progbar.progress() is now consuming ~73% of time. This change does not improve the execution time if the progress bar is disabled. We may want a more comprehensive solution for that case, as the progress bar won't be enabled in a number of scenarios (e.g. servers and processes not attached to an interactive TTY). I also think that overhead of ~2.0s for 1M updates is a bit high. I suspect further refactoring of the progress bar can significantly reduce overhead. I don't have plans to do this, however.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
