wireproto: implement batching on peer executor interface

This is a bit more complicated than non-batch requests because we
need to buffer sends until the last request arrives *and* we need
to support resolving futures as data arrives from the remote.

In a classical concurrent.futures executor model, the future
"starts" as soon as it is submitted. However, we have nothing to
start until the last command is submitted.

If we did nothing, calling result() would deadlock, since the future
hasn't "started." So in the case where we queue the command, we return
a special future type whose result() will trigger sendcommands().
This eliminates the deadlock potential. It also serves as a check
against callers who may be calling result() prematurely, as it will
prevent any subsequent callcommands() from working. This behavior
is slightly annoying and a bit restrictive. But it's the world
that half duplex connections forces on us.

In order to support streaming responses, we were previously using
a generator. But with a futures-based API, we're using futures
and not generators. So in order to get streaming, we need a
background thread to read data from the server.

The approach taken in this patch is to leverage the ThreadPoolExecutor
from concurrent.futures for managing a background thread. We create
an executor and future that resolves when all response data is
processed (or an error occurs). When exiting the context manager,
we wait on that background reading before returning.

I was hoping we could manually spin up a threading.Thread and this
would be simple. But I ran into a few deadlocks when implementing.
After looking at the source code to concurrent.futures, I figured
it would just be easier to use a ThreadPoolExecutor than implement
all the code needed to manually manage a thread.

To prove this works, a use of the batch API in discovery has been
updated.

Arbitraryfilectx.cmp does not follow symlinks:
  $ mkdir case1
  $ cd case1
  $ hg init
#if symlink
  $ printf "A" > real_A
  $ printf "foo" > A
  $ printf "foo" > B
  $ ln -s A sym_A
  $ hg add .
  adding A
  adding B
  adding real_A
  adding sym_A
  $ hg commit -m "base"

These files are different and should return True (different):
(Note that filecmp.cmp's return semantics are inverted from ours, so we invert
for simplicity):
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['real_A'])"
  True (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('A', 'real_A')"
  True (no-eol)

These files are identical and should return False (same):
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['A'])"
  False (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['B'])"
  False (no-eol)
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('A', 'B')"
  False (no-eol)

This comparison should also return False, since A and sym_A are substantially
the same in the eyes of ``filectx.cmp``, which looks at data only.
  $ hg eval "context.arbitraryfilectx('real_A', repo).cmp(repo[None]['sym_A'])"
  False (no-eol)

A naive use of filecmp on those two would wrongly return True, since it follows
the symlink to "A", which has different contents.
#if symlink
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('real_A', 'sym_A')"
  True (no-eol)
#else
  $ hg eval "not filecmp.cmp('real_A', 'sym_A')"
  False (no-eol)
#endif
