extensions: ignore exceptions from an extension's `getversion()` method This method is usually called when there's a stacktrace being generated, or with `hg version -v`. Raising another exception risks mangling the bug report info. I hit this issue when trying to add the method to the keyring extension to report the version of the extension and the underlying module, and ran into demandimport issues prior to py3.8. It seems like a wise thing to do anyway, though unfortunately there's no convenient `ui` object around to issue a warning. Use 'unknown' to signal that it tried to report a version and failed, unlike the default case of printing nothing. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D10540

cHg
===
A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.
Install:
$ make
$ make install
Usage:
$ chg help # show help of Mercurial
$ alias hg=chg # replace hg command
$ chg --kill-chg-daemon # terminate background server
Environment variables:
Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:
* configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
* CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
background command server.
The following variables are available for testing:
* CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
* CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
* CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
Build environment variables:
* HGPATH: the path to the hg executable to call when CHGHG and HG are not set,
instead of "hg"
* HGPATHREL=1: when CHGHG and HG are not set, the hg executable will be ./hg
relative to the chg executable. Only works on linux, falls back to "hg"
otherwise.
