localrepo: add unbundle support Localrepo now supports the unbundle method of pushing changegroups. We plan to use the unbundle call for bundle2 so it is important that all peers supports it. The `peer.unbundle` and `peer.addchangegroup` code path have small difference so cause some test output changes. None of those changes seems problematic.

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.
