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.

#require serve

  $ hg init server
  $ cd server
  $ cat >> .hg/hgrc << EOF
  > [extensions]
  > strip=
  > EOF

  $ echo 1 > foo
  $ hg commit -A -m 'first'
  adding foo
  $ echo 2 > bar
  $ hg commit -A -m 'second'
  adding bar

Produce a bundle to use

  $ hg strip -r 1
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  saved backup bundle to $TESTTMP/server/.hg/strip-backup/ed602e697e0f-cc9fff6a-backup.hg (glob)

Serve from a bundle file

  $ hg serve -R .hg/strip-backup/ed602e697e0f-cc9fff6a-backup.hg -d -p $HGPORT --pid-file=hg.pid
  $ cat hg.pid >> $DAEMON_PIDS

Ensure we're serving from the bundle

  $ (get-with-headers.py localhost:$HGPORT 'file/tip/?style=raw')
  200 Script output follows
  
  
  -rw-r--r-- 2 bar
  -rw-r--r-- 2 foo
