Gregory Szorc 2e6b49383d Bug 1377216 - Use configure-derived VCS info to find repository; r=glandium
For reasons I can't explain, Windows builds are failing intermittently
because they are unable to locate the `hg` binary when running
some SpiderMonkey test processes. These processes use
mozversioncontrol.get_repository_from_env() to locate the
current repository.

We now store VCS info in configure. This makes it available to anything
running in a build system context.

This commit teaches mozversioncontrol.get_repository_from_env()
to import the "buildconfig" module to locate VCS info. If the module
can be imported, it is the sole source of VCS info. Otherwise, we
fall back to the existing detection mechanisms.

This should get rid of the intermittent failure. If it doesn't,
it is still a step in the right direction because it will allow
build system processes to consistently use a well-defined VCS
binary.

README

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
