filelog: custom filelog to be used with narrow repos Narrow repos may have file revisions whose copy/rename metadata references files not in the store. This can pose problems when consumers attempt to access a missing referenced file revision. The narrow extension hacks around this problem by implementing a derived filelog type that provides custom implementations of renamed(), size(), and cmp() which handle renames against files not in the narrow spec by silently removing the rename metadata. While silently dropping metadata isn't the most robust solution, it is the easiest to implement. This commit ports the custom narrow filelog class to core. When a narrow repo is constructed, its ifilestorage creation function will automatically use the new filelog type. This means the extra logic is 0 cost for non-narrow repos and shouldn't interfere with their operation. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4643

Integration with the share extension needs improvement. Right now we've seen some odd bugs, and the way we modify the contents of the .hg/shared file is unfortunate. See wrappostshare() and unsharenarrowspec().

Resolve commentary on narrowrepo.wraprepo.narrowrepository.status about the filtering of status being done at an awkward layer. This came up the import to hgext, but nobody's got concrete improvement ideas as of then.

Fold most (or preferably all) of narrowrevlog.py into core.

Address commentary in narrowrevlog.excludedmanifestrevlog.add - specifically we should improve the collaboration with core so that add() never gets called on an excluded directory and we can improve the stand-in to raise a ProgrammingError.

Figure out how to correctly produce narrowmanifestrevlog and narrowfilelog instances instead of monkeypatching regular revlogs at runtime to our subclass. Even better, merge the narrowing logic directly into core.

Reason more completely about rename-filtering logic in narrowfilelog. There could be some surprises lurking there.

Formally document the narrowspec format. Unify with sparse, if at all possible. For bonus points, unify with the server-specified narrowspec format.

narrowrepo.setnarrowpats() or narrowspec.save() need to make sure they're holding the wlock.
