wireprotov2: expose rich arguments metadata
Now that we internally store rich metadata about arguments, it makes
sense to make that metadata available to the client. This will allow
clients to validate outgoing command requests before they are sent
over the wire.
Strictly speaking, we should bump the wire protocol version for this
change since it is backwards incompatible. But no client-side code
touches the arguments map and I don't want to incur the work.

Arbitraryfilectx.cmp does not follow symlinks:
$ mkdir case1
$ cd case1
$ hg init
#if symlink
$ printf "A" > real_A
$ printf "foo" > A
$ printf "foo" > B
$ ln -s A sym_A
$ hg add .
adding A
adding B
adding real_A
adding sym_A
$ hg commit -m "base"

These files are different and should return True (different):
(Note that filecmp.cmp's return semantics are inverted from ours, so we invert
for simplicity):
$ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['real_A'])"
True (no-eol)
$ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('A', 'real_A')"
True (no-eol)
These files are identical and should return False (same):
$ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['A'])"
False (no-eol)
$ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['B'])"
False (no-eol)
$ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('A', 'B')"
False (no-eol)
This comparison should also return False, since A and sym_A are substantially
the same in the eyes of ``filectx.cmp``, which looks at data only.
$ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('real_A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['sym_A'])"
False (no-eol)
A naive use of filecmp on those two would wrongly return True, since it follows
the symlink to "A", which has different contents.
#if symlink
$ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('real_A', 'sym_A')"
True (no-eol)
#else
$ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('real_A', 'sym_A')"
False (no-eol)
#endif
