dirstate: add a way to test races happening during status
We add the `devel.sync.status.pre-dirstate-write-file` config option to easily
test what happens when other operations happen during the window where
`hg status` is done working but has not updated the cache on disk yet.
We introduce the framework for testing such races too, actual tests will be
added in the next changesets. For now the test is only checking dirstate-v1. We
will extend the test coverage later too.
Check test documentation for details.

Mercurial
=========
Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.
Basic install::
$ make # see install targets
$ make install # do a system-wide install
$ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
$ hg # see help
Running without installing::
$ make local # build for inplace usage
$ ./hg --version # should show the latest version
See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
Notes for packagers
===================
Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
