repository: introduce constant for sparse repo requirement and use it
In future we will like to much cleaner logic around which requirement is for
working copy and which can go in store. To start with that, we first need to
de-clutter the requirement values spread around and replace them with constants.

#require no-pure
A script to generate nasty diff worst-case scenarios:
$ cat > s.py <<EOF
> import random
> for x in range(100000):
> print
> if random.randint(0, 100) >= 50:
> x += 1
> print(hex(x))
> EOF
$ hg init a
$ cd a
Check in a big file:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
$ hg ci -qAm0
Modify it:
$ "$PYTHON" ../s.py > a
Time a check-in, should never take more than 10 seconds user time:
$ hg ci --time -m1 --config worker.enabled=no
time: real .* secs .user [0-9][.].* sys .* (re)
