obshashrange: rework saving branching to be clearer and safer

sqlcache: protect read query too Some error (like locked database) can even happens when doing readonly operation. So we protect them too. At that point, it seems that pysqlite3 is not the right tool for this job.

sqlite: fast path when nothing to save If we have no new data to save, we should try to do anything. Doing something concurrently is hard enough. If we can avoid doing it at all that would be great.

sqlcache: initialize meta table last It turns out that pysqlite commit after each table creation. This commit is an hopeless attemps to make the caches more concurrent friendly.

obshashrange: always check in base cachekey against the recorded one Ignoring the check in the none case is just disaster waiting to happens.

stablerangecache: fix output in the drifted case The node were not hex, and the field had different order in the pair. This is now fixed.

sqlcache: also ignore integrity error integrity error can happens when multiple client tries to warm similar cache. Given we leave multiple hole in the cache that can be warmed by anyone, this is harder to avoid that we would like. We simply catch the error in this case. Someone will warm the missing entry later.

sqlcache: cache OperationError when saving This is a cache, so we should not crash when trying to operate on it. OperationError can happens when the database is seen as readonly or locked.

sqlcache: passe better connection option These new options should help with handling transaction consistency and database access on high load.

contrib: introduce a small script to stress tests obsolescence exchange Tester have been reporting some error that seems to originate from concurrent access/update to the cache. This script will be useful to reproduce these situations locally.

changelog: mention the database robutness fix in the changelog

sqlcache: also catch malformed database error This is apparently another way for sqlite to fail at concurrency.

test-compat: merge mercurial-4.4 into mercurial-4.3

test: adjust glob in previous changeset I forgot to glob the time.

branching: merge with stable

packaging: mark as development version This avoid confusion.
