wireprotov1peer: simplify the way batchable rpcs are defined The scheme with futures/generator is confusing due to the way communication is done by side effects, especially with two different "future" objects. Just returning a request and a function to read the response is easier to understand. There are tests failures with the largefiles extension due to it aliasing one rpc to another one, which gets fixed in the next commit. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D11211

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.
