lfs: access revlog directly
LFS is monkeypatching filelog.filelog and is then accessing
various filelog attributes in the monkeypatched function. This is all
fine.
But some of the attributes being accessed by LFS are revlog centric
and shouldn't be exposed on the file storage interface.
This commit changes the monkeypatched functions to access proxied
attributes on self._revlog instead of self.
This should be safe to do because non-revlog repositories should not
be using filelog instances: instead they should have a separate class
to represent file storage. So it is reasonable for LFS to assume the
_revlog attribute exists and points to a revlog.

largefiles: automatically load largefiles extension when required (BC)
This is very similar to what we just did for LFS but for largefiles.
See recent commit messages for the rationale here.

lfs: don't add extension to hgrc after clone or share (BC)
Now that repository loading in core supports automatically loading
the lfs extension when the "lfs" requirement is present, we no
longer need to update the .hg/hgrc of newly-created repos to load
the lfs extension!
I'm marking this as BC because it is a change in behavior. But users
should not notice unless they create an LFS repo with new Mercurial
and then attempt to use it with an old versions that doesn't support
automatic extension loading.

localrepo: automatically load lfs extension when required (BC)
If an unrecognized requirement is present (possibly due to an unloaded
extension), the user will get an error message telling them to go to
https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MissingRequirement for more info.
And some requirements clearly map to known extensions shipped by
Mercurial.
This commit teaches repository loading to automatically map
requirements to extensions. We implement support for loading the
lfs extension when the "lfs" requirement is present.
This behavior feels more user-friendly to me and I'm having trouble
coming up with a compelling reason to not do it. The strongest
argument I have against is that - strictly speaking - requirements
are general repository features and there could be N providers of that
feature. e.g. in the case of LFS, there could be another extension
implementing LFS support. And the user would want to use this
non-official extension rather than the built-in one. The way this
patch implements things, the non-official extension could be
missing and Mercurial would load the official lfs extension, leading
to unexpected behavior. But this feels like a highly marginal use
case to me and doesn't outweigh the user benefit of "it just works."
If someone really wanted to e.g. use a custom LFS extension, they
could prevent the built-in one from being loaded by either defining
"extensions.lfs=/path/to/custom/extension" or "extensions.lfs=!",
as the automatic extension loading only occurs if there is no config
entry for that extension.

lfs: add repository feature denoting the use of LFS
Whether LFS is enabled seems like a useful feature to expose. This
will also facilitate some future work around LFS feature compatibility.

localrepo: define "features" on repository instances (API)
There are a handful of attributes/methods on repository instances that
describe the behavior of the repository. Furthermore, there is
an unbound set of repository descriptors that we may wish to expose.
For example, an extension may wish to add a descriptor and have
monkeypatched functions look for the presence of an attribute before
taking actions.
This commit introduces a "features" mechanism to allow repositories
to self-advertise an arbitrary set of strings that describe repository
behavior or capabilities.
We implement basic support for advertising a few features to give an
idea of what I want to use this for.
