We use our internal cbor library, not the vendored one in thirdparty.

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 CBOR format to encode
the data.
