util: check for compression engine availability before returning

If a requested compression engine is registered but not available,
requesting it will now abort.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate mechanism
for handling optional compression engines. I won't know until
all uses of compression (bundles, wire protocol, revlogs, etc)
are using the new API and zstd (our planned optional engine)
is implemented. So this API could change.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
