perfrevflogwrite: clear revlog cache between each write We want to measure write time from a cold cache (similar to commit). So we need to clear the cache to prevent computation from rev N-1 to interfere with rev N.

py3: enable legacy stdio mode in exewrapper This drops the test failure count from 166 to 117. The failures were typically in the form of `hg serve -d` spawning but crashing immediately, leaving clients with "bad http status" lines, connection refusals, and so forth. The underlying message on the server side was either "OSError: [WinError 6] The handle is invalid" or "OSError: [WinError 1] Incorrect function". Additionally, no output was rendered if the pager was activated. Thanks to Yuya for diagnosing the problem. The failure count drops to 107 when PYTHONLEGACYWINDOWSSTDIO=1 is defined in the environment. These failures seem to revolve around the dummyssh server process, and dumbhttp.py. So I'll probably add that to the test runner. One small regression here (only in py3) is that if hg.exe is already built, a messagebox appears when building it again saying that python37.dll can't be loaded. Python3 isn't in PATH by default, and setup.py tries running bare `hg` first. But MSYS prepends '.' to PATH, so it runs the local hg, but can't find the library. It falls back to the python used to invoke setup.py, so ultimately it works. I'm not sure if it's better to strip '.' from PATH or just skip right to `sys.executable hg` on Windows. Also, something seems to be wrong with run-tests._usecorrectpython(). I accidentially left off the 'PYTHON="py -3"' when building (thus making py2 stuff), and yet managed to invoke run-tests.py with "py -3". (And that only had 67 failures.)

run-tests: alias hg to hg.exe on Windows To enable legacy stdio mode on Windows, hg.exe needs to be updated. But before that, we actually have to use it when running the tests. I *think* what was happening before was when MSYS invoked `hg`, it looked at the shbang line and ran python.exe found there. The test harness must be updating $PATH to include the python used to launch it, and therefore it ran py3. As a side note, this also fixed `py -3 run-tests.py` (without --local), which complained about the space in the shbang line before this. This should also help in WSL, because the explicit '.exe' is needed to invoke a Windows app instead of invoking the Linux app. I have no idea why this change capitalizes Lib in the tests, as it was previously lowercase for both py2 and py3.

py3: conditionalize the python version in test-install.t

tests: followup on network related errors on Debian 9 First, update test-clonebundles.t which was failing since the introduction of the `$EADDRNOTAVAIL$` common pattern. Also update two tests from 8695fbe17f7c with a more compact condition line. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5445

py3: unimplement RevlogError.__str__() On Python 2, str(exc) would crash if __str__() returned a unicode containing non-ASCII characters.

py3: use forcebytestr() to stringify hook exception This fixes test-narrow-exchange.t.

color: fix a documentation typo

py3: quote $PYTHON in test-patchbomb.t for Windows I couldn't get the quoting right in the environment variable, so now it's a function.

rust-cpython: testing the bindings from Python This is easier and more convincing than doing the same tests from a Rust tests module. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D5437
