Summary:
The helper could be used in individual tests to enable chg if chg exists.
This allows us to have more precise control on what tests to use chg instead
of using a global flag in run-tests.py.
This makes certain tests containing many hg commands much faster. For example,
`test-revset.t` took 99 seconds before:
% ./run-tests.py test-revset.t --time
.
# Ran 1 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed.
# Producing time report
start end cuser csys real Test
0.000 99.990 86.410 12.000 99.990 test-revset.t
And 10 seconds after:
% ./run-tests.py test-revset.t --time
.
# Ran 1 tests, 0 skipped, 0 failed.
# Producing time report
start end cuser csys real Test
0.000 10.080 0.380 0.130 10.080 test-revset.t
Also enable it for some other tests. Note the whitelist is not complete. We
probably want to whitelist more tests in the future.
The feature could be opted out by deleting `contrib/chg/chg`.

Empty changelist descriptions are valid in Perforce. If we encounter one of
them we are currently running into an IndexError. In case of empty commit
messages set the commit message to **empty changelist description**, which
follows Perforce terminology.
We are using read-only attributes that parse the perforce data on
demand. We are reading the data only once whenever an attribute is
requested and use it throughout the import process. This is equivalent
to the previous behavior, but we are avoiding reading from perforce when
we initialize the object, but instead run it during the actual import
process, when the first attribute is requested (usually getheads(), see
`convertcmd.convert`).
