wireproto: convert legacy commands to command executor

Calls to the legacy commands "changegroup" and "changegroupsubset" have
been ported to the new command executor interface.

Because we always pass arguments by name and not position, some
inconsistent names throughout the code base have been unified.

As part of this change, we no longer had any remaining callers
of the legacy command methods {between, branches, changegroup,
changegroupsubset}. So, these interfaces/methods have been dropped
from peer interfaces. We still have an interface declaring these
methods. But that interface is implemented on the concrete peer
types and isn't part of the generic peer interface. (The
implementations of the command executor continue to call these
methods.)

The ultimate goal is to remove the per-command methods from the
generic peer interface: the only interface-conforming way to
call a command will be with the new executor API. At some point,
we may want to move the methods outside of the peer classes and
change the executor implementations to not call methods directly
on a peer instance.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...

Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.

To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)

This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.

If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"

You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"

You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"
