wireproto: extract repo filtering to standalone function As part of teaching Mozilla's replication extension to better handle repositories with obsolescence data, I encountered a few scenarios where I wanted built-in wire protocol commands from replication clients to operate on unfiltered repositories so they could have access to obsolete changesets. While the undocumented "web.view" config option provides a mechanism to choose what filter/view hgweb operates on, this doesn't apply to wire protocol commands because wireproto.dispatch() is always operating on the "served" repo. This patch extracts the line for obtaining the repo that wireproto commands operate on to its own function so extensions can monkeypatch it to e.g. return an unfiltered repo. I stopped short of exposing a config option because I view the use case for changing this as a niche feature, best left to the domain of extensions.
