cmdserver: write the hello message as one chunk on the 'o' channel

This is a guaranteed by the protocol: clients know they need to read one chunk
off of the 'o' channel and treat that as the hello message.

They should ignore fields they don't recognize so they stay compatible with
new versions of the server in case we decide to add something.

'''browse command output with an external pager

To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable::

  [pager]
  pager = less -FRSX

If no pager is set, the pager extensions uses the environment variable
$PAGER. If neither pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, no pager is used.

If you notice "BROKEN PIPE" error messages, you can disable them by
setting::

  [pager]
  quiet = True

You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list::

  [pager]
  ignore = version, help, update

You can also enable the pager only for certain commands using
pager.attend. Below is the default list of commands to be paged::

  [pager]
  attend = annotate, cat, diff, export, glog, log, qdiff

Setting pager.attend to an empty value will cause all commands to be
paged.

If pager.attend is present, pager.ignore will be ignored.

To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
to specify them in your user configuration file.

The --pager=... option can also be used to control when the pager is
used. Use a boolean value like yes, no, on, off, or use auto for
normal behavior.
