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.

Enable ui.formatted because pager won't fire without it, and set up
pager and tell it to use our fake pager that lets us see when the
pager was running.
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [ui]
  > formatted = yes

By default diff and log are paged, but id is not:

  $ hg diff -c 2 --pager=yes
  paged! 'diff -r f4be7687d414 -r bce265549556 a\n'
  paged! '--- a/a\tThu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000\n'

  paged! '\n'

  $ hg id
  46106edeeb38 tip

We can enable the pager on id:

BROKEN: should be paged
  $ hg --config pager.attend-id=yes id
  46106edeeb38 tip

Setting attend-$COMMAND to a false value works, even with pager in
core:
  $ hg --config pager.attend-diff=no diff -c 2
  diff -r f4be7687d414 -r bce265549556 a
  --- a/a	Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  +++ b/a	Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  @@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
   a
   a 1
  +a 2

If 'log' is in attend, then 'history' should also be paged:
  $ hg history --limit 2 --config pager.attend=log
  paged! 'changeset:   10:46106edeeb38\n'
  paged! 'tag:         tip\n'
  paged! 'user:        test\n'

  paged! 'changeset:   9:6dd8ea7dd621\n'
  paged! 'user:        test\n'

  paged! 'summary:     modify a 9\n'
  paged! '\n'

Pager should not start if stdout is not a tty.

  $ hg log -l1 -q --config ui.formatted=False
  10:46106edeeb38

Pager should be disabled if pager.pager is empty (otherwise the output would
be silently lost.)

  $ hg log -l1 -q --config pager.pager=
  10:46106edeeb38

Pager with color enabled allows colors to come through by default,
even though stdout is no longer a tty.
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF

An invalid pager command name is reported sensibly if we don't have to
use shell=True in the subprocess call:
  $ hg log --limit 3 --config pager.pager=this-command-better-never-exist
  missing pager command 'this-command-better-never-exist', skipping pager
  \x1b[0;33mchangeset:   10:46106edeeb38\x1b[0m (esc)
  tag:         tip
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     modify a 10
  
  \x1b[0;33mchangeset:   9:6dd8ea7dd621\x1b[0m (esc)
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     modify a 9
  
  \x1b[0;33mchangeset:   8:cff05a6312fe\x1b[0m (esc)
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     modify a 8
  

A complicated pager command gets worse behavior. Bonus points if you can
improve this.
  $ hg log --limit 3 \
  >   --config pager.pager='this-command-better-never-exist --seriously' \
  >  2>/dev/null || true

Pager works with shell aliases.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [alias]
  > echoa = !echo a
  > EOF

  $ hg echoa
  a
BROKEN: should be paged
  $ hg --config pager.attend-echoa=yes echoa
  a

Pager works with hg aliases including environment variables.

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<'EOF'
  > [alias]
  > printa = log -T "$A\n" -r 0
  > EOF

  $ A=1 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa
  paged! '1\n'
  $ A=2 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa
  paged! '2\n'

Something that's explicitly attended is still not paginated if the
pager is globally set to off using a flag:
  $ A=2 hg --config pager.attend-printa=yes printa --pager=no
  2

Pager should not override the exit code of other commands

  $ cat >> $TESTTMP/fortytwo.py <<'EOF'
  > from mercurial import cmdutil, commands
  > cmdtable = {}
  > command = cmdutil.command(cmdtable)
  > @command('fortytwo', [], 'fortytwo', norepo=True)
  > def fortytwo(ui, *opts):
  >     ui.write('42\n')
  >     return 42
  > EOF

  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<'EOF'
  > [extensions]
  > fortytwo = $TESTTMP/fortytwo.py
  > EOF

  $ hg fortytwo --pager=on
  paged! '42\n'
  [42]

A command that asks for paging using ui.pager() directly works:
  $ hg blame a
  paged! ' 0: a\n'
  paged! ' 1: a 1\n'
  paged! ' 2: a 2\n'
  paged! ' 3: a 3\n'
  paged! ' 4: a 4\n'
  paged! ' 5: a 5\n'
  paged! ' 6: a 6\n'
  paged! ' 7: a 7\n'
  paged! ' 8: a 8\n'
  paged! ' 9: a 9\n'
  paged! '10: a 10\n'
but not with HGPLAIN
  $ HGPLAIN=1 hg blame a
   0: a
   1: a 1
   2: a 2
   3: a 3
   4: a 4
   5: a 5
   6: a 6
   7: a 7
   8: a 8
   9: a 9
  10: a 10
explicit flags work too:
  $ hg blame --pager=no a
   0: a
   1: a 1
   2: a 2
   3: a 3
   4: a 4
   5: a 5
   6: a 6
   7: a 7
   8: a 8
   9: a 9
  10: a 10

Put annotate in the ignore list for pager:
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [pager]
  > ignore = annotate
  > EOF
  $ hg blame a
   0: a
   1: a 1
   2: a 2
   3: a 3
   4: a 4
   5: a 5
   6: a 6
   7: a 7
   8: a 8
   9: a 9
  10: a 10
