wireproto: config options to disable bundle1

bundle2 is the new and preferred wire protocol format. For various
reasons, server operators may wish to force clients to use it.

One reason is performance. If a repository is stored in generaldelta,
the server must recompute deltas in order to produce the bundle1
changegroup. This can be extremely expensive. For mozilla-central,
bundle generation typically takes a few minutes. However, generating
a non-gd bundle from a generaldelta encoded mozilla-central requires
over 30 minutes of CPU! If a large repository like mozilla-central
were encoded in generaldelta and non-gd clients connected, they could
easily flood a server by cloning.

This patch gives server operators config knobs to control whether
bundle1 is allowed for push and pull operations. The default is to
support legacy bundle1 clients, making this patch backwards compatible.

Create a repository:

  $ hg config
  defaults.backout=-d "0 0"
  defaults.commit=-d "0 0"
  defaults.shelve=--date "0 0"
  defaults.tag=-d "0 0"
  devel.all-warnings=true
  largefiles.usercache=$TESTTMP/.cache/largefiles (glob)
  ui.slash=True
  ui.interactive=False
  ui.mergemarkers=detailed
  ui.promptecho=True
  $ hg init t
  $ cd t

Make a changeset:

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m test

This command is ancient:

  $ hg history
  changeset:   0:acb14030fe0a
  tag:         tip
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     test
  

Verify that updating to revision 0 via commands.update() works properly

  $ cat <<EOF > update_to_rev0.py
  > from mercurial import ui, hg, commands
  > myui = ui.ui()
  > repo = hg.repository(myui, path='.')
  > commands.update(myui, repo, rev=0)
  > EOF
  $ hg up null
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ python ./update_to_rev0.py
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg identify -n
  0


Poke around at hashes:

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a

  $ hg cat a
  a

Verify should succeed:

  $ hg verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  1 files, 1 changesets, 1 total revisions

At the end...

  $ cd ..
