dispatch: use versiontuple() We have a new generic function for this. Use it.

util: add versiontuple() for returning parsed version information We have similar code in dispatch.py. Another consumer is about to be created, so establish a generic function in an accessible location.

extensions: rename _ignore to _builtin, add descriptive comment It was previously not at all obvious what this was for. We also change it to a set to avoid iterating over an admittedly small list repeatedly at startup time.

ui: avoid needless casting to a str In many cases, we don't need to cast to a str because the object will be cast when it is eventually written. As part of testing this, I added some code to raise exceptions when a non-str was passed in and wasn't able to trigger it. i.e. we're already passing str into this function everywhere, so the casting isn't necessary.

ui: remove labeled argument from popbuffer It was moved to pushbuffer and currently does nothing.

color: evaluate labels at write time Previously, we stored 2-tuples of text and label in a list and then evaluated the labels when the buffer was popped. After this patch, we evaluate the labels at write time and do a simple join when the buffer is popped. This patch appears to have no impact on performance, despite creating fewer 2-tuples and having fewer strings hanging around in memory.

cmdutil: pass labeled=True to pushbuffer() This doesn't yet change behavior because labeling is still performed at popbuffer time. Surprisingly, this is the only in-tree consumer that passes labeled=True.

ui: track label expansion when creating buffers As part of profiling `hg log` performance, I noticed a lot of time is spent in buffered writes to ui instances. This patch starts a series that refactors buffered writes with the eventual intent to improve performance. Currently, labels are expanded when buffers are popped. This means we have to preserve the original text and the label until we render the final output. This is avoidable overhead and adds complexity since we're retaining state. This patch adds functionality to ui.pushbuffer() to declare whether label expansion should be active for the buffer. Labels are still evaluated during buffer pop. This will change in a subsequent patch. Since we'll need to access the "expand labels" flag on future write() operations, we prematurely optimize how the current value is stored to optimize for rapid retrieval.
