make incoming work via ssh (issue139); move chunk code into separate module.

Incoming ssh needs to detect the end of the changegroup, otherwise it would
block trying to read from the ssh pipe. This is done by parsing the
changegroup chunks.

bundlerepo.getchunk() already is identical to
localrepo.addchangegroup.getchunk(), which is followed by getgroup which
looks much like what you can re-use in bundlerepository.__init__() and in
write_bundle(). bundlerevlog.__init__.genchunk() looks very similar, too,
as do some while loops in localrepo.py.

Applied patch from Benoit Boissinot to move duplicate/related code
to mercurial/changegroup.py and use this to fix incoming ssh.

A simple testing framework

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
./run-tests

This finds all scripts in the test directory named test-* and executes
them. The scripts can be either shell scripts or Python. Each test is
run in a temporary directory that is removed when the test is complete.

A test-<x> succeeds if the script returns success and its output
matches test-<x>.out. If the new output doesn't match, it is stored in
test-<x>.err.

There are some tricky points here that you should be aware of when
writing tests:

- hg commit and hg up -m want user interaction

  for commit use -m "text"
  for hg up -m, set HGMERGE to something noninteractive (like true or merge)

- changeset hashes will change based on user and date which make
  things like hg history output change

  use commit -m "test" -u test -d "1000000 0"

- diff will show the current time

  use hg diff | sed "s/\(\(---\|+++\) [a-zA-Z0-9_/.-]*\).*/\1/" to strip
  dates
