sparse: move config parsing into core

This patch marks the beginning of moving code from the sparse
extension into core. The goal is to move as much of the
functionality as possible into core, where it will be an
experimental feature. The extension will likely continue to
exist to enable the feature and provide UI elements.

As part of the move, the repo method was converted to a module
function. It doesn't need to exist on repos.

An error message was also updated to reflect that an error isn't
necessarily from the .hg/sparse file. The API should be updated
later to pass in a filename so the error can be more descriptive.

Copyright of the added file was copied from the sparse extension.

# Extract version number into 4 parts, some of which may be empty:
#
# version: the numeric part of the most recent tag. Will always look like 1.3.
#
# type: if an rc build, "rc", otherwise empty
#
# distance: the distance from the nearest tag, or empty if built from a tag
#
# node: the node|short hg was built from, or empty if built from a tag
