incoming: request a bundle2 when possible (BC)

Incoming was using bundle1 in all cases, as bundle1 is restricted to
changegroup1 and does not support general delta, this can lead to significant
CPU overhead if the server is using general delta storage. We now properly
request and store a bundle2 to disk.

If the server include any output or error in the bundle, they will be stored on
disk and replayed when the bundle is read. As 'hg incoming' is going to read the
bundle right away, we call that 'good' enough and go back to the bigger plan of
having general delta on by default.
