color: turn 'ui.color' into a boolean (auto or off)

Previously, 'ui.color=yes' meant "always show color", While
"ui.color=auto" meant "use color automatically when it appears
sensible".

This feels problematic to some people because if an administrator has
disabled color with "ui.color=off", and a user turn it back  on using
"color=on", it will get surprised (because it breaks their output when
redirected to a file.) This patch changes ui.color=true to only move the
default value of --color from "never" to "auto".

I'm not really in favor of this changes as I suspect the above case will
be pretty rare and I would rather keep the logic simpler. However, I'm
providing this patch to help the 4.2 release in the case were others
decide to make this changes.

Users that want to force colors without specifying --color on the
command line can use the 'ui.formatted' config knob, which had to be
enabled in a handful of tests for this patch.

A new repository uses zlib storage, which doesn't need a requirement

  $ hg init default
  $ cd default
  $ cat .hg/requires
  dotencode
  fncache
  generaldelta
  revlogv1
  store

  $ touch foo
  $ hg -q commit -A -m 'initial commit with a lot of repeated repeated repeated text to trigger compression'
  $ hg debugrevlog -c | grep 0x78
      0x78 (x)  :   1 (100.00%)
      0x78 (x)  : 110 (100.00%)

  $ cd ..

Unknown compression engine to format.compression aborts

  $ hg --config experimental.format.compression=unknown init unknown
  abort: compression engine unknown defined by experimental.format.compression not available
  (run "hg debuginstall" to list available compression engines)
  [255]

A requirement specifying an unknown compression engine results in bail

  $ hg init unknownrequirement
  $ cd unknownrequirement
  $ echo exp-compression-unknown >> .hg/requires
  $ hg log
  abort: repository requires features unknown to this Mercurial: exp-compression-unknown!
  (see https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MissingRequirement for more information)
  [255]

  $ cd ..

#if zstd

  $ hg --config experimental.format.compression=zstd init zstd
  $ cd zstd
  $ cat .hg/requires
  dotencode
  exp-compression-zstd
  fncache
  generaldelta
  revlogv1
  store

  $ touch foo
  $ hg -q commit -A -m 'initial commit with a lot of repeated repeated repeated text'

  $ hg debugrevlog -c | grep 0x28
      0x28      :  1 (100.00%)
      0x28      : 98 (100.00%)

  $ cd ..

Specifying a new format.compression on an existing repo won't introduce data
with that engine or a requirement

  $ cd default
  $ touch bar
  $ hg --config experimental.format.compression=zstd -q commit -A -m 'add bar with a lot of repeated repeated repeated text'

  $ cat .hg/requires
  dotencode
  fncache
  generaldelta
  revlogv1
  store

  $ hg debugrevlog -c | grep 0x78
      0x78 (x)  :   2 (100.00%)
      0x78 (x)  : 199 (100.00%)
