tweak-default: no longer enable the experimental return code

The change is quite new and undocumented (since it is experimental) so it seems
premature to make it available in tweak default. In addition, I am not sure the
new return code are frozen yet (eg: some of the initial feedback have not been
incorporated). Before the release I doubled check (probably with Martin) that
they were not enabled by default and got replied that they were only enabled in
the tests. Have I been aware that they have been also enabled in tweak default I
would I have lobbied to delay that.

I discovered they were in tweak default from users feedback. They found it an
unpleasant and unexpected surprise of 5.7.

So I suggest we no enable enable this experimental feature for Mercurial 5.7 and
revisit this later, when the feature will be more mature.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9975

== New Features ==

 * `hg mv -A` can now be used with `--at-rev`. It behaves just like
   `hg cp -A --at-rev`, i.e. it marks the destination as a copy of the
   source whether or not the source still exists (but the source must
   exist in the parent revision).

 * New revset predicate `diffcontains(pattern)` for filtering revisions
   in the same way as `hg grep --diff pattern`.

 * The memory footprint per changeset and per file during pull/unbundle
   operations has been significantly reduced.


== New Experimental Features ==



== Bug Fixes ==



== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==



== Internal API Changes ==

 * `merge.update()` is now private (renamed to `_update()`). Hopefully
   the higher-level functions available in the same module cover your
   use cases.

 * `phases.registernew` now takes a set of revisions instead of a list
   of nodes. `phases.advanceboundary` takes an optional set of revisions
   in addition to the list of nodes. The corresponeding members of the
   `phasecache` class follow this change.

 * The `addgroup` member of `revlog` classes no longer keeps a list of
   all found nodes. It now returns True iff a node was found in the group.
   An optional callback for duplicated nodes can be used by callers to keep
   track of all nodes themselve.

 * The `_chaininfocache` of `revlog` classes has been changed from a dict
   to a LRU cache.
