localrepo: experimental support for non-zlib revlog compression

The final part of integrating the compression manager APIs into
revlog storage is the plumbing for repositories to advertise they
are using non-zlib storage and for revlogs to instantiate a non-zlib
compression engine.

The main intent of the compression manager work was to zstd all
of the things. Adding zstd to revlogs has proved to be more involved
than other places because revlogs are... special. Very small inputs
and the use of delta chains (which are themselves a form of
compression) are a completely different use case from streaming
compression, which bundles and the wire protocol employ. I've
conducted numerous experiments with zstd in revlogs and have yet
to formalize compression settings and a storage architecture that
I'm confident I won't regret later. In other words, I'm not yet
ready to commit to a new mechanism for using zstd - or any other
compression format - in revlogs.

That being said, having some support for zstd (and other compression
formats) in revlogs in core is beneficial. It can allow others to
conduct experiments.

This patch introduces *highly experimental* support for non-zlib
compression formats in revlogs. Introduced is a config option to
control which compression engine to use. Also introduced is a namespace
of "exp-compression-*" requirements to denote support for non-zlib
compression in revlogs. I've prefixed the namespace with "exp-"
(short for "experimental") because I'm not confident of the
requirements "schema" and in no way want to give the illusion of
supporting these requirements in the future. I fully intend to drop
support for these requirements once we figure out what we're doing
with zstd in revlogs.

A good portion of the patch is teaching the requirements system
about registered compression engines and passing the requested
compression engine as an opener option so revlogs can instantiate
the proper compression engine for new operations.

That's a verbose way of saying "we can now use zstd in revlogs!"

On an `hg pull` conversion of the mozilla-unified repo with no extra
redelta settings (like aggressivemergedeltas), we can see the impact
of zstd vs zlib in revlogs:

Only modest wins for the changelog. But manifest reading is
significantly faster. What's going on?

One reason might be data volume. zstd decompresses faster. So given
more bytes, it will put more distance between it and zlib.

Another reason is size. In the current design, zstd revlogs are
*larger*:

debugcreatestreamclonebundle (size in bytes)
zlib: 1,638,852,492
zstd: 1,680,601,332

I haven't investigated this fully, but I reckon a significant cause of
larger revlogs is that the zstd frame/header has more bytes than
zlib's. For very small inputs or data that doesn't compress well, we'll
tend to store more uncompressed chunks than with zlib (because the
compressed size isn't smaller than original). This will make revlog
reading faster because it is doing less decompression.

Moving on to bundle performance:

$ hg bundle -a -t none-v2 (total CPU time)
zlib: 102.79s
zstd:  97.75s

So, marginal CPU decrease for reading all chunks in all revlogs
(this is somewhat disappointing).

$ hg bundle -a -t <engine>-v2 (total CPU time)
zlib: 191.59s
zstd: 115.36s

This last test effectively measures the difference between zlib->zlib
and zstd->zstd for revlogs to bundle. This is a rough approximation of
what a server does during `hg clone`.

There are some promising results for zstd. But not enough for me to
feel comfortable advertising it to users. We'll get there...

# with files from different users/groups, we cheat a bit by
