help: document bundle specifications I softly formalized the concept of a "bundle specification" a while ago when I was working on clone bundles and stream clone bundles and wanted a more robust way to define what exactly is in a bundle file. The concept has existed for a while. Since it is part of the clone bundles feature and exposed to the user via the "-t" argument to `hg bundle`, it is something we need to support for the long haul. After the 4.1 release, I heard a few people comment that they didn't realize you could generate zstd bundles with `hg bundle`. I'm partially to blame for not documenting it in bundle's docstring. Additionally, I added a hacky, experimental feature for controlling the compression level of bundles in 76104a4899ad. As the commit message says, I went with a quick and dirty solution out of time constraints. Furthermore, I wanted to eventually store this configuration in the "bundlespec" so it could be made more flexible. Given: a) bundlespecs are here to stay b) we don't have great documentation over what they are, despite being a user-facing feature c) the list of available compression engines and their behavior isn't exposed d) we need an extensible place to modify behavior of compression engines I want to move forward with formalizing bundlespecs as a user-facing feature. This commit does that by introducing a "bundlespec" help page. Leaning on the just-added compression engine documentation and API, the topic also conveniently lists available compression engines and details about them. This makes features like zstd bundle compression more discoverable. e.g. you can now `hg help -k zstd` and it lists the "bundlespec" topic.

"""
Algorithm works in the following way. You have two repository: local and
remote. They both contains a DAG of changelists.

The goal of the discovery protocol is to find one set of node *common*,
the set of nodes shared by local and remote.

One of the issue with the original protocol was latency, it could
potentially require lots of roundtrips to discover that the local repo was a
subset of remote (which is a very common case, you usually have few changes
compared to upstream, while upstream probably had lots of development).

The new protocol only requires one interface for the remote repo: `known()`,
which given a set of changelists tells you if they are present in the DAG.

The algorithm then works as follow:

 - We will be using three sets, `common`, `missing`, `unknown`. Originally
 all nodes are in `unknown`.
 - Take a sample from `unknown`, call `remote.known(sample)`
   - For each node that remote knows, move it and all its ancestors to `common`
   - For each node that remote doesn't know, move it and all its descendants
   to `missing`
 - Iterate until `unknown` is empty

There are a couple optimizations, first is instead of starting with a random
sample of missing, start by sending all heads, in the case where the local
repo is a subset, you computed the answer in one round trip.

Then you can do something similar to the bisecting strategy used when
finding faulty changesets. Instead of random samples, you can try picking
nodes that will maximize the number of nodes that will be
classified with it (since all ancestors or descendants will be marked as well).
