repository: port peer interfaces to zope.interface

zope.interface is superior. Let's switch to it.

Unlike abc, which defines interfaces through a base class,
zope.interface uses different types for interfaces and for
implementations. So, we had to invent some new types to hold the
interfaces in order to separate the interface from its default
implementation.

The names here could probably be better. I've been wanting to
overhaul the peer interface for a while. And wire protocol version
2 will force that work. So anticipate a refactoring of these
interfaces in later commits.

With this commit, we no longer test abc interfaces in
test-check-interfaces.py, so code for that has been removed.

# no-check-commit because of stream_out()

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

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

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.
