narrow: only send the narrowspecs back if ACL in play

I am unable to think why we need to send narrowspecs back from the server. The
current state adds a 'narrow:spec' part to each changegroup which is generated
when narrow extension is enabled. So we are sending narrowspecs on pull also.

There is a problem with sending the narrowspecs the way we are doing it right
now. We add include and exclude as parameter of the 'narrow:spec' bundle2 part.
The the len of include or exclude string increase 255 which is obvious while
working on large repos, bundle2 generation code breaks. For more on that refer
issue5952 on bugzilla.

I was thinking why we need to send the narrowspecs back, and deleted the
'narrow:spec' bundle2 part generation code and found that only narrow-acl test
has some failure.

With this patch, we will only send the 'narrow:spec' bundle2 part if ACL is
enabled because the original narrowspecs in those cases can be a subset of
narrowspecs user requested.

There are phase related output change in couple of tests. The output change
shows that we are now dealing in public phases completely. So maybe sending the
narrow:spec bundle2 part was preventing phases being exchanged or phase bundle2
data being applied.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
