tests: introduce a compat-branches blacklist file

The idea behind this file is to have an easy and obvious mechanism for skipping
some tests on compatibility branches without modifying the test files
themselves or touching .gitlab-ci.yml.

Obviously, each compatibility branch can have different set of tests, and so
the contents of this file can be different on different branches.

This concept had actually existed in core for a long time, see
tests/blacklists/ directory.

Doc is generated with sphinx.

You can generate the doc with:

```
make
```

# Tutorials

For updating the tutorials, you need to have the docgraph extension installed
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hg-docgraph).

Then run the test-topic-tutorial.t and test-tutorial.t to update the output if
needed.

You'll need the dot binary (likely installed by the graphviz package in your
package manager) in order to have graphviz graphs rendered in the html output.

Simply run make in the docs directory should takes care of the conversion of
the tutorial .t files into .rst files. Then sphinx should do the rest of the
jobs by rendering graphviz graphs.
