subrepo: drop the 'ui' parameter to archive()

The current state of subrepo methods is to pass a 'ui' object to some methods,
which has the effect of overriding the subrepo configuration since it is the
root repo's 'ui' that is passed along as deep as there are subrepos.  Other
subrepo method are *not* passed the root 'ui', and instead delegate to their
repo object's 'ui'.  Even in the former case where the root 'ui' is available,
some methods are inconsistent in their use of both the root 'ui' and the local
repo's 'ui'.  (Consider hg._incoming() uses the root 'ui' for path expansion
and some status messages, but also calls bundlerepo.getremotechanges(), which
eventually calls discovery.findcommonincoming(), which calls
setdiscovery.findcommonheads(), which calls status() on the local repo 'ui'.)

This inconsistency with respect to the configured output level is probably
always hidden, because --verbose, --debug and --quiet, along with their 'ui.xxx'
equivalents in the global and user level hgrc files are propagated from the
parent repo to the subrepo via 'baseui'.  The 'ui.xxx' settings in the parent
repo hgrc file are not propagated, but that seems like an unusual thing to set
on a per repo config file.  Any 'ui.xxx' options changed by --config are also
not propagated, because they are set on repo.ui by dispatch.py, not repo.baseui.

The goal here is to cleanup the subrepo methods by dropping the 'ui' parameter,
which in turn prevents mixing subtly different 'ui' instances on a given subrepo
level.  Some methods use more than just the output level settings in 'ui' (add
for example ends up calling scmutil.checkportabilityalert() with both the root
and local repo's 'ui' at different points).  This series just goes for the low
hanging fruit and switches methods that only use the output level.

If we really care about not letting a subrepo config override the root repo's
output level, we can propagate the verbose, debug and quiet settings to the
subrepo in the same way 'ui.commitsubrepos' is in hgsubrepo.__init__.

Archive only uses the 'ui' object to call its progress() method, and gitsubrepo
calls status().
