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.

Test unionrepo functionality

Create one repository

  $ hg init repo1
  $ cd repo1
  $ touch repo1-0
  $ echo repo1-0 > f
  $ hg ci -Aqmrepo1-0
  $ touch repo1-1
  $ echo repo1-1 >> f
  $ hg ci -Aqmrepo1-1
  $ touch repo1-2
  $ echo repo1-2 >> f
  $ hg ci -Aqmrepo1-2
  $ hg log --template '{rev}:{node|short}  {desc|firstline}\n'
  2:68c0685446a3  repo1-2
  1:8a58db72e69d  repo1-1
  0:f093fec0529b  repo1-0
  $ tip1=`hg id -q`
  $ cd ..

- and a clone with a not-completely-trivial history

  $ hg clone -q repo1 --rev 0 repo2
  $ cd repo2
  $ touch repo2-1
  $ sed '1i\
  > repo2-1 at top
  > ' f > f.tmp
  $ mv f.tmp f
  $ hg ci -Aqmrepo2-1
  $ touch repo2-2
  $ hg pull -q ../repo1 -r 1
  $ hg merge -q
  $ hg ci -Aqmrepo2-2-merge
  $ touch repo2-3
  $ echo repo2-3 >> f
  $ hg ci -mrepo2-3
  $ hg log --template '{rev}:{node|short}  {desc|firstline}\n'

revisions from repo2 appear as appended / pulled to repo1

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 log --template '{rev}:{node|short}  {desc|firstline}\n'

manifest can be retrieved for revisions in both repos

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 mani -r $tip1

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 mani -r 4

files can be retrieved form both repos

  $ hg -R repo1 cat repo1/f -r2
  repo1-0
  repo1-1
  repo1-2

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 cat -r$tip1 repo1/f

  repo1-2

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 cat -r4 $TESTTMP/repo1/f
  repo2-1 at top
  repo1-0
  repo1-1

files can be compared across repos

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 diff -r$tip1 -rtip
  diff -r 68c0685446a3 -r 2f0d178c469c f
  --- a/f	Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000

  +repo2-1 at top

heads from both repos are found correctly

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 heads --template '{rev}:{node|short}  {desc|firstline}\n'
  5:2f0d178c469c  repo2-3

revsets works across repos

  $ hg -R union:repo1+repo2 id -r "ancestor($tip1, 5)"
  8a58db72e69d

annotate works - an indication that linkrevs works

  $ hg --cwd repo1 -Runion:../repo2 annotate $TESTTMP/repo1/f -r tip
  3: repo2-1 at top

union repos can be cloned ... and clones works correctly

  $ hg clone -U union:repo1+repo2 repo3

union repos should use the correct rev number (issue5024)

  $ hg init a
  $ cd a
  $ echo a0 >> f
  $ hg ci -Aqm a0
  $ cd ..
  $ hg init b
  $ cd b
  $ echo b0 >> f
  $ hg ci -Aqm b0
  $ echo b1 >> f
  $ hg ci -qm b1
  $ cd ..

"hg files -v" to call fctx.size() -> fctx.iscensored()
  $ hg files -R union:b+a -r2 -v
           3   b/f
