    This patch introduces more intelligent Mercurial metadata lookup.
    Before, the approach was to have rbtools shell out to Mercurial every
    time it needed data. This was prone to inefficiencies.

    In the new world, we have a class that holds all known state about
    the Mercurial repository and provides a just-in-time method to resolve
    missing metadata on access.

    Not everything uses the new mechanism yet. But I think this patch
    represents a good half-way point from which additional improvements can
    be built upon.

    Test suite passes.
