narrow: check for servers' narrow support before doing anything (BC)
Recently we introduced narrow capabilities for the server. So we can check
whether a server has narrow clone support or not before doing anything. This is
BC because new clients won't be able to extend from old narrow-enabled servers.
I *think* narrow is not used much (maybe just inside Google), also it's
experimental so I think we can change this. We will need to this someday anyway.
The "doesn't" in error is changed to "does not" because I think that's we do in
core. I also changed one more instance of the error message to use 'does not'
for consistency.

A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:
$ cat > s.py <<EOF
> import random
> for x in range(100000):
> print
> if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
> x += 1
> print(hex(x))
> EOF
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Check in a big file:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
Modify it:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:
$ hg ci --time -m1
time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
