wireproto: implement capabilities for wire protocol v2 The capabilities mechanism for wire protocol version 2 represents a clean break from version 1. Instead of effectively exchanging a set of capabilities, we're exchanging a rich data structure. This data structure currently contains information about every available command, including its accepted arguments. It also contains information about supported compression formats. Exposing information about supported commands will allow clients to automatically generate bindings to the server. Clients will be able to do things like detect when they are attempting to run a command that isn't known to the server. Exposing the required permissions to run a command can be used by clients to determine if they have privileges to call a command before actually calling it. We could potentially even have clients send credentials preemptively without waiting for the server to deny the command request. Lots of potential here. The data returned by this command will likely evolve heavily. So we shouldn't bikeshed the implementation just yet. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3200
