bundlespec: merge the contentopts and params dictionnary

They are content using the same keys. Using differents object for access open
the gates for confusion in the code using them (this is already the case). So we
start fusing their usages to make the parameters more useful.

More work will be needed to make them really useful, but the first step is
here: not throwing the value away.

However this is still not making the previously introduced test useful because
currently, the default config value overwrite the one from the bundlespec. We
will fix this in the coming changesets.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
