revlog: move censor logic into main revlog class
Previously, the revlog class implemented dummy methods for
various censor-related functionality. Revision censoring was
(and will continue to be) only possible on filelog instances.
So filelog implemented these methods to perform something
reasonable.
A problem with implementing censoring on filelog is that
it assumes filelog is a revlog. Upcoming work to formalize
the filelog interface will make this not true.
Furthermore, the censoring logic is security-sensitive. I
think action-at-a-distance with custom implementation of core
revlog APIs in derived classes is a bit dangerous. I think at
a minimum the censor logic should live in revlog.py.
I was tempted to created a "censored revlog" class that
basically pulled these methods out of filelog. But, I wasn't
a huge fan of overriding core methods in child classes. A
reason to do that would be performance. However, the censoring
code only comes into play when:
* hash verification fails
* delta generation
* applying deltas from changegroups
The new code is conditional on an instance attribute. So the
overhead for running the censored code when the revlog isn't
censorable is an attribute lookup. All of these operations are
at least a magnitude slower than a Python attribute lookup. So
there shouldn't be a performance concern.

revlog: move parsemeta() and packmeta() from filelog (API)
filelog.parsemeta() and filelog.packmeta() are used to decode
and encode metadata for file copies and censor.
An upcoming commit will move the core logic for censoring revlogs
into revlog.py. This would create a cycle between revlog.py and
filelog.py. So we move these metadata functions to revlog.py.
.. api::
filelog.parsemeta() and filelog.packmeta() have been moved to
the revlog module.

filelog: declare that filelog implements a storage interface
Now that we have a declared interface, let's declare that filelog
implements it.
Tests have been added that confirm the object conforms to the
interface.
The existing interface checks verify there are no extra public
attributes outside the declared interface. filelog has several
extra attributes. So we added a mechanism to suppress this check.
The goal is to modify the filelog class so we can drop this check.

repository: define existing interface for file storage
Now that we have mostly successfully implemented an alternate
storage backend for files data, let's start to define the
interface for it!
This commit takes the mostly-working interface as defined by the
simple store repo and codifies it as the file storage interface.
The interface has been split into its logical components:
* index metadata
* fulltext data
* mutation
* everything else
I don't consider the existing interface to be great. But it will
help to have it more formally defined so we can start chipping away
at refactoring it.

tests: run some largefiles and lfs tests with simple store
Now that the simple store handles flags properly, a handful of
the largefiles and lfs tests pass!

commands: don't violate storage abstractions in `manifest --all`
Previously, we asked the store to emit its data files. For modern
repos, this would use fncache to resolve the set of files then would
stat() each file. For my copy of the mozilla-unified repository, this
took 3.3-10s depending on the state of my filesystem cache to render
449,790 items.
The previous behavior was a massive layering violation because it
assumed tracked files would have specific filenames in specific
directories. Alternate storage backends would violate this assumption.
The new behavior scans the changelog entries for the set of files
changed by each commit. It aggregates them into a set and then
sorts and prints the result. This reliably takes ~16.3s on my
machine. ~80% of the time is spent in zlib decompression.
The performance regression is unfortunate. If we want to claw it
back, we can create a proper storage API to query for the set of
tracked files. I'm not opposed to doing that. But I'm in no hurry
because I suspect ~0 people care about the performance of
`hg manifest --all`.
.. perf::
`hg manifest --all` is likely slower due to changing its
implementation to respect storage interface boundaries. If you
are impacted by this regression in a meaningful way, please make
noise on the development mailing list and it can be dealt with.

commands: document the layering violation in `manifest --all`
This commit fixes the last test failures when using the simple
store extension!
It turns out that `hg manifest --all` locks the repo and scans for
revlogs. This feature was added by 71938479eff9 in 2011. I am
debating changing the behavior. But that can occur in another
commit.
As part of debugging this, I realized that test-manifest.t is the
only meaningful tester of `hg manifest --all` and that test was
improperly disabled when bundlerepos aren't supported. The test is
testing manifest behavior, not whether you can `hg pull` from a
bundle. So I changed the test to `hg unbundle` instead.
FWIW, I wasted a non-trivial amount of time tracking down this
failure. I thought the issue involved Git, which is why I refactored
the test to be more deterministic. Never in my mind would I have
guessed that code in `hg manifest` would scan revlogs. I should have
looked there to begin with. Doh.
