REVISION SUMMARY
  This patch moves the file which is used to write state files easily in a good
  way using the cbor format.
  
  The file is moved from changeset 1baf32675ec60d622bd2c3cdce9dbf5a1020c06d of the
  evolve extension. The following changes are made to the file while moving to
  core:
  
  - import util from current directory as this file in mercurial/ now
  - make cmdstate class extend object
  - removed mutable default value for opts in cmdstate.__init__
  - some doc changes to replace out of core things with in-core ones
  
  evolve extension can be found at https://bitbucket.org/marmoute/mutable-history
