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)
$ hg init base
$ cd base
$ echo 'alpha' > alpha
$ hg ci -A -m 'add alpha'
adding alpha
$ cd ..
$ hg clone base work
updating to branch default

(branch merge, don't forget to commit)
Update --clean to revision 1 to simulate a failed merge:
$ rm alpha beta gamma
$ hg update --clean 1
