serve: add support for Mercurial subrepositories
I've been using `hg serve --web-conf ...` with a simple '/=projects/**' [paths]
configuration for awhile without issue. Let's ditch the need for the manual
configuration in this case, and limit the repos served to the actual subrepos.
This doesn't attempt to handle the case where a new subrepo appears while the
server is running. That could probably be handled with a hook if somebody wants
it. But it's such a rare case, it probably doesn't matter for the temporary
serves.
The main repo is served at '/', just like a repository without subrepos. I'm
not sure why the duplicate 'adding ...' lines appear on Linux. They don't
appear on Windows (see 594dd384803c), so they are optional.
Subrepositories that are configured with '../path' or absolute paths are not
cloneable from the server. (They aren't cloneable locally either, unless they
also exist at their configured source, perhaps via the share extension.) They
are still served, so that they can be browsed, or cloned individually. If we
care about that cloning someday, we can probably just add the extra entries to
the webconf dictionary. Even if the entries use '../' to escape the root, only
the related subrepositories would end up in the dictionary.

Mercurial supports a functional language for selecting a set of files. Like other file patterns, this pattern type is indicated by a prefix, 'set:'. The language supports a number of predicates which are joined by infix operators. Parenthesis can be used for grouping. Identifiers such as filenames or patterns must be quoted with single or double quotes if they contain characters outside of ``[.*{}[]?/\_a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]`` or if they match one of the predefined predicates. This generally applies to file patterns other than globs and arguments for predicates. Special characters can be used in quoted identifiers by escaping them, e.g., ``\n`` is interpreted as a newline. To prevent them from being interpreted, strings can be prefixed with ``r``, e.g. ``r'...'``. See also :hg:`help patterns`. Operators ========= There is a single prefix operator: ``not x`` Files not in x. Short form is ``! x``. These are the supported infix operators: ``x and y`` The intersection of files in x and y. Short form is ``x & y``. ``x or y`` The union of files in x and y. There are two alternative short forms: ``x | y`` and ``x + y``. ``x - y`` Files in x but not in y. Predicates ========== The following predicates are supported: .. predicatesmarker Examples ======== Some sample queries: - Show status of files that appear to be binary in the working directory:: hg status -A "set:binary()" - Forget files that are in .hgignore but are already tracked:: hg forget "set:hgignore() and not ignored()" - Find text files that contain a string:: hg files "set:grep(magic) and not binary()" - Find C files in a non-standard encoding:: hg files "set:**.c and not encoding('UTF-8')" - Revert copies of large binary files:: hg revert "set:copied() and binary() and size('>1M')" - Revert files that were added to the working directory:: hg revert "set:revs('wdir()', added())" - Remove files listed in foo.lst that contain the letter a or b:: hg remove "set: 'listfile:foo.lst' and (**a* or **b*)"
