caches: introduce a function to warm cache
We have multiple caches that gain from being kept up to date. For example in a
server setup, we want to make sure the branchcache cache is hot for other
read-only clients.
Right now each cache tries to update themself in place where new data have been
added. However the approach is error prone (we might miss some spot) and
fragile. When nested transaction are involved, such cache updates might happen
before a top level transaction is committed. Writing caches for uncommitted
data on disk.
Having a single entry point, run at the end of each successful transaction,
helps to ensure the cache is up to date and refreshed at the right time.
We start with updating the branchmap cache but other will come.

transaction: track newly introduced revisions
Tracking revisions is not the data that will unlock the most new capability.
However, they are the simplest thing to track and still unlock some nice
improvements in regard with caching.
We plug ourself at the changelog level to make sure we do not miss any revision
additions.
The 'revs' set is configured at the repository level because the transaction
itself does not needs to know that much about the business logic.

transaction: introduce "changes" dictionary to precisely track updates
The transaction is already tracking some data intended for hooks (in
'hookargs'). However, that information is minimal as we optimise for
passing data to other processes through environment variables. There are
multiple places were we could use more complete and lower level
information locally (eg: cache update, better report of changes to
hooks, etc...).
For this purpose we introduces a 'changes' dictionary on the
transaction. It is intended to track every changes happening to the
repository (eg: new revs, bookmarks move, phases move, obs-markers,
etc).
For now we just adds the 'changes' dictionary. We'll adds more tracking
and usages over time.

clone: add a server-side option to disable full getbundles (pull-based clones)
For large enough repositories, pull-based clones take too long, and an attempt
to use them indicates some sort of configuration or other issue or maybe an
outdated Mercurial. Add a config option to disable them.

clone: warn when streaming was requested but couldn't be performed
This helps both users and the people who support them figure out why
a stream clone couldn't be performed.
In an upcoming patch we're going to add a way for servers to hard
abort on a full getbundle. In those cases servers might expect
clients to perform a stream clone, so it's important to communicate
why one couldn't be done.

clone: test streaming disabled because client is missing requirement
Turns out we had no coverage for this important case.

bundle2: don't check for whether we can do stream clones
At the moment this isn't used and all stream clones use the legacy protocol.
In an upcoming diff, canperformstreamclone will print out a message if a stream
clone was requested but couldn't happen for some reason. Removing this call
ensures the message isn't printed twice.
