stream-clone: disable gc for the initial section for the v3 format
The number of small container created turn Python in a gc-frenzy that seriously
impact performance.
This significantly boost performance. The following number comes from a large
private repository using perf::stream-locked-section:
base-line: 35.04 seconds
prev-change: 24.51 seconds (-30%)
prev-change: 20.88 seconds (-40%)
this-change: 14.22 seconds (-60% from baseline; -31% from prev)

Make sure we notice the change of mode if the cached size == -1:
$ hg rm a
$ hg revert -r 0 a
$ hg debugstate
n 0 -1 unset a
$ hg status
M a

$ test -x a && echo executable -- bad || echo not executable -- good
not executable -- good
