streamclone: support for producing and consuming stream clone bundles

Up to this point, stream clones only existed as a dynamically generated
data format produced and consumed during streaming clones. In order to
support this efficient cloning format with the clone bundles feature, we
need a more formal, on disk representation of the streaming clone data.

This patch introduces a new "bundle" type for streaming clones. Unlike
existing bundles, it does not contain changegroup data. It does,
however, share the same concepts like the 4 byte header which identifies
the type of data that follows and the 2 byte abbreviation for
compression types (of which only "UN" is currently supported).

The new bundle format is essentially the existing stream clone version 1
data format with some headers at the beginning.

Content negotiation at stream clone request time checked for repository
format/requirements compatibility before initiating a stream clone. We
can't do active content negotiation when using clone bundles. So, we put
this set of requirements inside the payload so consumers have a built-in
mechanism for checking compatibility before reading and applying lots of
data. Of course, we will also advertise this requirements set in clone
bundles. But that's for another patch.

We currently don't have a mechanism to produce and consume this new
bundle format. This will be implemented in upcoming patches.

It's worth noting that if a legacy client attempts to `hg unbundle` a
stream clone bundle (with the "HGS1" header), it will abort with:
"unknown bundle version S1," which seems appropriate.

Record help

  $ hg record -h
  hg record [OPTION]... [FILE]...
  
  interactively select changes to commit
  
      If a list of files is omitted, all changes reported by "hg status" will be
      candidates for recording.
  
      See "hg help dates" for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.
  
      You will be prompted for whether to record changes to each modified file,
      and for files with multiple changes, for each change to use. For each
      query, the following responses are possible:
  
        y - record this change
        n - skip this change
        e - edit this change manually
  
        s - skip remaining changes to this file
        f - record remaining changes to this file
  
        d - done, skip remaining changes and files
        a - record all changes to all remaining files
        q - quit, recording no changes
  
        ? - display help
  
      This command is not available when committing a merge.
  
  options ([+] can be repeated):
  
   -A --addremove           mark new/missing files as added/removed before
                            committing
      --close-branch        mark a branch head as closed
      --amend               amend the parent of the working directory
   -s --secret              use the secret phase for committing
   -e --edit                invoke editor on commit messages
   -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
   -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
   -m --message TEXT        use text as commit message
   -l --logfile FILE        read commit message from file
   -d --date DATE           record the specified date as commit date
   -u --user USER           record the specified user as committer
   -S --subrepos            recurse into subrepositories
   -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
   -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
   -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
  
  (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
