filelog: raise CensoredNodeError when hash checks fail with censor metadata With this change, when a revlog revision hash does not match its content, and the content is empty with a special metadata key, the integrity failure is assumed to be intentionally caused to remove sensitive content from repository history. To allow different Mercurial functionality to handle this scenario differently a more specific exception is raised than "ordinary" hash failures. Alternatives to this approach include, but are not limited to: - Calling a hook when hashes mismatch to allow arbitrary tombstone validation. Cons: Irresponsibly easy to disable integrity checking altogether. - Returning empty revision data eagerly instead of raising, masking the error. Cons: Push/pull won't roundtrip the tombstone, so client repos are unusable. - Doing nothing differently at this layer. Callers must do their own detection of tombstoned data if they want to handle some hash checks and not others. - Impacts dozens of callsites, many of which don't have the revision data - Would probably be missing one or two callsites at any given time - Currently we throw a RevlogError, as do 12 other places in revlog.py. Callers would need to parse the exception message and/or ensure RevlogError is not thrown from any other part of their call tree.
