sslutil: prevent CRIME

ssl.create_default_context() disables compression on the TLS channel
in order to prevent CRIME. I think we should follow CPython's lead
and attempt to disable channel compression in order to help prevent
information leakage.

Sadly, I don't think there is anything we can do on Python versions
that don't have an SSLContext, as there is no way to set channel
options with the limited ssl API.

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

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

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