wireprotov2: allow multiple fields to follow revision maps
The *data wire protocol commands emit a series of CBOR values.
Because revision/delta data may be large, their data is emitted
outside the map as a top-level bytestring value.
Before this commit, we'd emit a single optional bytestring
value after the revision descriptor map. This got the job done.
But it was limiting in that we could only send a single field.
And, it required the consumer to know that the presence of a
key in the map implied the existence of a following bytestring
value.
This commit changes the encoding strategy so top-level bytestring
values in the stream are explicitly denoted in a "fieldsfollowing"
key. This key contains an array defining what fields that follow
and the expected size of each field.
By defining things this way, we can easily send N bytestring
values without any ambiguity about their order. In addition,
clients only need to know how to parse ``fieldsfollowing`` to
know if extra values are present.
Because this breaks backwards compatibility, we've bumped the version
number of the wire protocol version 2 API endpoint.
