bundle2: enforce all parameters in a part to be handled Once we picked a handler, we check that all mandatory parameter keys are properly supported. If not we raise an exception. We added a test for this case. The code now fails for any part with unknown mandatory parameters. We will ignore such errors for advisory parts in a later changeset.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
