interfaces: convert the dirstate zope interface to a Protocol class This is a small trial run for converting the repository interfaces enmasse, in the same series of steps. I'm not sure that this current code is valid (it has zope attribute fields, and it's missing all of the `self` args on its functions, but that was the previous state of things, and made PyCharm really unhappy). But it will be easier to review the repository interface changes if this change is separate from adding `self` and dropping the zope attributes all over. Having an empty constructor in a protocol is weird. I'm not sure if these args should be converted to fields that all subclasses would have, and comments around existing attributes say some should be going away. Comment it out for now so that it's not in the way, but also not forgotten.

'''
A "pvec" is a changeset property based on the theory of vector clocks
that can be compared to discover relatedness without consulting a
graph. This can be useful for tasks like determining how a
disconnected patch relates to a repository.

Currently a pvec consist of 448 bits, of which 24 are 'depth' and the
remainder are a bit vector. It is represented as a 70-character base85
string.

Construction:

- a root changeset has a depth of 0 and a bit vector based on its hash
- a normal commit has a changeset where depth is increased by one and
  one bit vector bit is flipped based on its hash
- a merge changeset pvec is constructed by copying changes from one pvec into
  the other to balance its depth

Properties:

- for linear changes, difference in depth is always <= hamming distance
- otherwise, changes are probably divergent
- when hamming distance is < 200, we can reliably detect when pvecs are near

Issues:

- hamming distance ceases to work over distances of ~ 200
- detecting divergence is less accurate when the common ancestor is very close
  to either revision or total distance is high
- this could probably be improved by modeling the relation between
  delta and hdist

Uses:

- a patch pvec can be used to locate the nearest available common ancestor for
  resolving conflicts
- ordering of patches can be established without a DAG
- two head pvecs can be compared to determine whether push/pull/merge is needed
  and approximately how many changesets are involved
- can be used to find a heuristic divergence measure between changesets on
  different branches
