eol: do not wait on lack when writing cache

The cache writing process is properly catching and handling the case
where the
lock is unavailable. However, it fails to specify the lock can failed
to be
acquired when requesting it. This is now fixed.

Hmm.

*If* the user has write access to the repo and *could* lock the repo,
then it seems reasonable that it waits for the lock and does the right
thing. It would be unfortunate to bail out early and happily continue to
expose the less optimal state that read only users might have to deal with.

The change introduced by this changeset make the cache in line with how most of other cache works in Mercurial.

A part of the problem here might be that it is unclear to me what happens with wait=False. I don't remember the details: will it continue without locking or will it raise? It would be nice to get that clarified in the localrepo docstrings.

Also, this "cache" is not so much a "store values so we don't have to compute them again" cache. It is more about recording how .hgeol looked like when file content from the repo was "cached" in the working directory. Without this, we have to invalidate the dirstate more often.

The lock don't really have time out so simple read only command could hold themself forever if make this call blocking.

Why not "really"? There is the 10 minutes timeout?

Given than eol is probably not going to be user on pulling

Sorry, I don't understand that sentence.
