streamclone: avoid some obscure error in a corner case

I don't really know how, but I ran into this error:

    $ hg clone --stream ssh://user@dummy/empty-repo local-empty-repo
    streaming all changes
    abort: unable to apply stream clone: unsupported format:
    [255]

I think you need an empty list of requirements for this to happen,
which is weird, but an obscure error like this is not exactly helpful
either. Since this is the result of an encoding bug anyway, just fix
it.

Address commentary in manifest.excludedmanifestrevlog.add -
specifically we should improve the collaboration with core so that
add() never gets called on an excluded directory and we can improve
the stand-in to raise a ProgrammingError.

Reason more completely about rename-filtering logic in
narrowfilelog. There could be some surprises lurking there.

Formally document the narrowspec format. For bonus points, unify with the
server-specified narrowspec format.

narrowrepo.setnarrowpats() or narrowspec.save() need to make sure
they're holding the wlock.

The follinwg places do an unrestricted dirstate walk (including files outside the
narrowspec). Some of them should perhaps not do that.

 * debugfileset
 * perfwalk
 * sparse (but restricted to sparse config)
 * largefiles
