http: drop custom http client logic

Eight and a half years ago, as my starter bug on code.google.com, I
investigated a mysterious "broken pipe" error from seemingly random
clients[0]. That investigation revealed a tragic story: the Python
standard library's httplib was (and remains) barely functional. During
large POSTs, if a server responds early with an error (even a
permission denied error!) the client only notices that the server
closed the connection and everything breaks. Such server behavior is
implicitly legal under RFC 2616 (the latest HTTP RFC as of when I was
last working on this), and my understanding is that later RFCs have
made it explicitly legal to respond early with any status code outside
the 2xx range.

I embarked, probably foolishly, on a journey to write a new http
library with better overall behavior. The http library appears to work
well in most cases, but it can get confused in the presence of
proxies, and it depends on select(2) which limits its utility if a lot
of file descriptors are open. I haven't touched the http library in
almost two years, and in the interim the Python community has
discovered a better way[1] of writing network code. In theory some day
urllib3 will have its own home-grown http library built on h11[2], or
we could do that. Either way, it's time to declare our current
confusingly-named "http2" client logic and move on. I do hope to
revisit this some day: it's still garbage that we can't even respond
with a 401 or 403 without reading the entire POST body from the
client, but the goalposts on writing a new http client library have
moved substantially. We're almost certainly better off just switching
to requests and eventually picking up their http fixes than trying to
live with something that realistically only we'll ever use. Another
approach would be to write an adapter so that Mercurial can use pycurl
if it's installed. Neither of those approaches seem like they should
be investigated prior to a release of Mercurial that works on Python
3: that's where the mindshare is going to be for any improvements to
the state of the http client art.

Setup extension:

  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [extensions]
  > mq =
  > [mq]
  > git = keep
  > EOF

Test merge with mq changeset as the second parent:

  $ hg init m
  $ cd m
  $ touch a b c
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m a
  $ hg add b
  $ hg qnew -d "0 0" b
  $ hg update 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg add c
  $ hg commit -m c
  created new head
  $ hg merge
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  $ hg commit -m merge
  abort: cannot commit over an applied mq patch
  [255]
  $ cd ..

Issue529: mq aborts when merging patch deleting files

  $ checkundo()
  > {
  >     if [ -f .hg/store/undo ]; then
  >         echo ".hg/store/undo still exists"
  >     fi
  > }

Commit two dummy files in "init" changeset:

  $ hg init t
  $ cd t
  $ echo a > a
  $ echo b > b
  $ hg ci -Am init
  adding a
  adding b
  $ hg tag -l init

Create a patch removing a:

  $ hg qnew rm_a
  $ hg rm a
  $ hg qrefresh -m "rm a"

Save the patch queue so we can merge it later:

  $ hg qsave -c -e
  copy $TESTTMP/t/.hg/patches to $TESTTMP/t/.hg/patches.1
  $ checkundo

Update b and commit in an "update" changeset:

  $ hg up -C init
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo b >> b
  $ hg st
  M b
  $ hg ci -m update
  created new head

# Here, qpush used to abort with :
# The system cannot find the file specified => a
  $ hg manifest
  a
  b

  $ hg qpush -a -m
  merging with queue at: $TESTTMP/t/.hg/patches.1
  applying rm_a
  now at: rm_a

  $ checkundo
  $ hg manifest
  b

Ensure status is correct after merge:

  $ hg qpop -a
  popping rm_a
  popping .hg.patches.merge.marker
  patch queue now empty

  $ cd ..

Classic MQ merge sequence *with an explicit named queue*:

  $ hg init t2
  $ cd t2
  $ echo '[diff]' > .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'nodates = 1' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Am init
  adding a
  $ echo b > a
  $ hg ci -m changea
  $ hg up -C 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg cp a aa
  $ echo c >> a
  $ hg qnew --git -f -e patcha
  $ echo d >> a
  $ hg qnew -d '0 0' -f -e patcha2

Create the reference queue:

  $ hg qsave -c -e -n refqueue
  copy $TESTTMP/t2/.hg/patches to $TESTTMP/t2/.hg/refqueue
  $ hg up -C 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Merge:

  $ HGMERGE=internal:other hg qpush -a -m -n refqueue
  merging with queue at: $TESTTMP/t2/.hg/refqueue
  applying patcha
  patching file a
  Hunk #1 succeeded at 2 with fuzz 1 (offset 0 lines).
  fuzz found when applying patch, stopping
  patch didn't work out, merging patcha
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  0 files updated, 2 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)
  applying patcha2
  now at: patcha2

Check patcha is still a git patch:

  $ cat .hg/patches/patcha
