hidden: add support to explicitly access hidden changesets via HTTP
We now detect hidden access request and validate them while handling HTTP
wireprotocol command. This changeset only introduces server support. Client
support is added in a subsequent changeset.
The mechanism we use for the HTTP wireprotocol is the same as the one used to
lift filtering for hgweb. The use of the global `access-hidden` parameter in
the http url is a simple and effective approach that
* works around the lack of global parameters in wire protocol v1,
* reuses the mechanism used for hgweb (that does not use the wireproto), and
* can be safely ignored by older client (fitting the best effort contract).
The feature is still experimental, so we can easily update the implementation
details in the future. However, landing a first implementation now will help
test the feature in the wild and iterate on alternative implementations if
deemed necessary.

Mercurial ========= Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool for software developers. Basic install:: $ make # see install targets $ make install # do a system-wide install $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup $ hg # see help Running without installing:: $ make local # build for inplace usage $ ./hg --version # should show the latest version See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information. Notes for packagers =================== Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported configuration.
