commandserver: add experimental option to use separate message channel
This is loosely based on the idea of the TortoiseHg's pipeui extension,
which attaches ui.label to message text so the command-server client can
capture prompt text, for example.
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/src/4.7.2/tortoisehg/util/pipeui.py
I was thinking that this functionality could be generalized to templating,
but changed mind as doing template stuff would be unnecessarily complex.
It's merely a status message, a simple serialization option should suffice.
Since this slightly changes the command-server protocol, it's gated by a
config knob. If the config is enabled, and if it's supported by the server,
"message-encoding: <name>" is advertised so the client can stop parsing
'o'/'e' channel data and read encoded messages from the 'm' channel. As we
might add new message encodings in future releases, client can specify a list
of encoding names in preferred order.
This patch includes 'cbor' encoding as example. Perhaps, 'json' should be
supported as well.

# Description
# -----------
# This script generates a tcsh source file to support completion
# of Mercurial commands and options.
#
# Instruction:
# -----------
# Run this script to generate the tcsh source file, and source
# the file to add command completion support for Mercurial.
#
# tcsh% tcsh_completion.sh FILE
# tcsh% source FILE
#
# If FILE is not specified, tcsh_completion will be generated.
#
# Bugs:
# ----
# 1. command specific options are not supported
# 2. hg commands must be specified immediately after 'hg'.
