tests: add tests and document expectations from visit_children_set in rust The tests this patch are adding have the form of formal spec in invariants::visit_children_set::holds, and then a series of checks that all examples must satisfy this formal spec. I tried to make the spec consistent with how this function is used and how it was originally conceived. This is in conflict with how it's documented in Rust. Some of the implementations also fail to implement this spec, which leads to bugs, in particular when complicated patterns are used with `hg status`.

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.
