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 update logic when there are renames or weird same-name cases between dirs
and files

Update with local changes across a file rename

  $ hg init r1 && cd r1

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg ci -m a

  $ hg mv a b
  $ hg ci -m rename

  $ echo b > b
  $ hg ci -m change

  $ hg up -q 0

  $ echo c > a

  $ hg up
  merging a and b to b
  warning: conflicts while merging b! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges
  [1]

Test update when local untracked directory exists with the same name as a
tracked file in a commit we are updating to
  $ hg init r2 && cd r2
  $ echo root > root && hg ci -Am root  # rev 0
  adding root
  $ echo text > name && hg ci -Am "name is a file"  # rev 1
  adding name
  $ hg up 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ mkdir name
  $ hg up 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Test update when local untracked directory exists with some files in it and has
the same name a tracked file in a commit we are updating to. In future this
should be updated to give an friendlier error message, but now we should just
make sure that this does not erase untracked data
  $ hg up 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ mkdir name
  $ echo text > name/file
  $ hg st
  ? name/file
  $ hg up 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd ..

#if symlink

Test update when two commits have symlinks that point to different folders
  $ hg init r3 && cd r3
  $ echo root > root && hg ci -Am root
  adding root
  $ mkdir folder1 && mkdir folder2
  $ ln -s folder1 folder
  $ hg ci -Am "symlink to folder1"
  adding folder
  $ rm folder
  $ ln -s folder2 folder
  $ hg ci -Am "symlink to folder2"
  $ hg up 1
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd ..

#endif

#if rmcwd

Test that warning is printed if cwd is deleted during update
  $ hg init r4 && cd r4
  $ mkdir dir
  $ cd dir
  $ echo a > a
  $ echo b > b
  $ hg add a b
  $ hg ci -m "file and dir"
  $ hg up -q null
  current directory was removed
  (consider changing to repo root: $TESTTMP/r1/r4)

#endif
