state: set canonical=True to write deterministically
Passing canonical=True to cbor.dump() will help in writing the data
deterministically. This will sort all the sets and dicts before writing to the
file. Thanks indygreg for recommending to use it.

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 third party cbor library
to serialize and deserialize data.
