wireproto: require POST for all HTTPv2 requests

Wire protocol version 1 transfers argument data via request
headers by default. This has historically caused problems because
servers institute limits on the length of individual HTTP headers
as well as the total size of all request headers. Mercurial servers
can advertise the maximum length of an individual header. But
there's no guarantee any intermediate HTTP agents will accept
headers up to that length.

In the existing wire protocol, server operators typically also
key off the HTTP request method to implement authentication.
For example, GET requests translate to read-only requests and
can be allowed. But read-write commands must use POST and require
authentication. This has typically worked because the only wire
protocol commands that use POST modify the repo (e.g. the
"unbundle" command).

There is an experimental feature to enable clients to transmit
argument data via POST request bodies. This is technically a
better and more robust solution. But we can't enable it by default
because of servers assuming POST means write access.

In version 2 of the wire protocol, the permissions of a request
are encoded in the URL. And with it being a new protocol in a new
URL space, we're not constrained by backwards compatibility
requirements.

This commit adopts the technically superior mechanism of using
HTTP request bodies to send argument data by requiring POST for
all commands. Strictly speaking, it may be possible to send
request bodies on GET requests. But my experience is that not all
HTTP stacks support this. POST pretty much always works. Using POST
for read-only operations does sacrifice some RESTful design
purity. But this API cares about practicality, not about being
in Roy T. Fielding's REST ivory tower.

There's a chance we may relax this restriction in the future. But
for now, I want to see how far we can get with a POST only API.

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo
  $ hg bookmark bm
  $ touch file0
  $ hg commit -Am file0-added
  adding file0
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         commit -Am file0-added
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

A shared working copy initially receives the same bookmarks and working copy

  $ cd ..
  $ hg share repo shared1
  updating working directory
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd shared1
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share repo shared1

unless you explicitly share bookmarks

  $ cd ..
  $ hg share --bookmarks repo shared2
  updating working directory
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd shared2
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

Moving the bookmark in the original repository is only shown in the repository
that shares bookmarks

  $ cd ../repo
  $ touch file1
  $ hg commit -Am file1-added
  adding file1
  $ cd ../shared1
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share repo shared1
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

But working copy changes are always 'local'

  $ cd ../repo
  $ hg up 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (leaving bookmark bm)
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         up 0
  4f354088b094  .         commit -Am file1-added
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         commit -Am file0-added
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added
  $ hg up tip
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg up 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg journal
  previous locations of '.':
  0fd3805711f9  up 0
  4f354088b094  up tip
  0fd3805711f9  share --bookmarks repo shared2

Unsharing works as expected; the journal remains consistent

  $ cd ../shared1
  $ hg unshare
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         share repo shared1
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg unshare
  $ hg journal --all
  previous locations of the working copy and bookmarks:
  0fd3805711f9  .         up 0
  4f354088b094  .         up tip
  4f354088b094  bm        commit -Am file1-added
  0fd3805711f9  .         share --bookmarks repo shared2
  0fd3805711f9  bm        commit -Am file0-added

New journal entries in the source repo no longer show up in the other working copies

  $ cd ../repo
  $ hg bookmark newbm -r tip
  $ hg journal newbm
  previous locations of 'newbm':
  4f354088b094  bookmark newbm -r tip
  $ cd ../shared2
  $ hg journal newbm
  previous locations of 'newbm':
  no recorded locations

This applies for both directions

  $ hg bookmark shared2bm -r tip
  $ hg journal shared2bm
  previous locations of 'shared2bm':
  4f354088b094  bookmark shared2bm -r tip
  $ cd ../repo
  $ hg journal shared2bm
  previous locations of 'shared2bm':
  no recorded locations
