commandserver: add experimental option to use separate message channel
This is loosely based on the idea of the TortoiseHg's pipeui extension,
which attaches ui.label to message text so the command-server client can
capture prompt text, for example.
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/src/4.7.2/tortoisehg/util/pipeui.py
I was thinking that this functionality could be generalized to templating,
but changed mind as doing template stuff would be unnecessarily complex.
It's merely a status message, a simple serialization option should suffice.
Since this slightly changes the command-server protocol, it's gated by a
config knob. If the config is enabled, and if it's supported by the server,
"message-encoding: <name>" is advertised so the client can stop parsing
'o'/'e' channel data and read encoded messages from the 'm' channel. As we
might add new message encodings in future releases, client can specify a list
of encoding names in preferred order.
This patch includes 'cbor' encoding as example. Perhaps, 'json' should be
supported as well.

cHg === A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix. Install: $ make $ make install Usage: $ chg help # show help of Mercurial $ alias hg=chg # replace hg command $ chg --kill-chg-daemon # terminate background server Environment variables: Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially handled: * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default. * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the background command server. The following variables are available for testing: * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages. * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver. * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
