wireprotov2: allow multiple fields to follow revision maps

The *data wire protocol commands emit a series of CBOR values.
Because revision/delta data may be large, their data is emitted
outside the map as a top-level bytestring value.

Before this commit, we'd emit a single optional bytestring
value after the revision descriptor map. This got the job done.
But it was limiting in that we could only send a single field.
And, it required the consumer to know that the presence of a
key in the map implied the existence of a following bytestring
value.

This commit changes the encoding strategy so top-level bytestring
values in the stream are explicitly denoted in a "fieldsfollowing"
key. This key contains an array defining what fields that follow
and the expected size of each field.

By defining things this way, we can easily send N bytestring
values without any ambiguity about their order. In addition,
clients only need to know how to parse ``fieldsfollowing`` to
know if extra values are present.

Because this breaks backwards compatibility, we've bumped the version
number of the wire protocol version 2 API endpoint.

This file contains class to wrap the state for commands and other
related logic.

All the data related to the command state is stored as dictionary in the object.
The class has methods using which the data can be stored to disk in a file under
.hg/ directory.

We store the data on disk in cbor, for which we use the third party cbor library
to serialize and deserialize data.
