stream-clone: allow to change persistent-nodemap format during stream clone

Persistent nodemap affect the store format. However it is fairly isolated and
fast to generate locally. So not making it a fixed part of the stream clone is
useful.

This allow clients without persistent-nodemap support (default for client
without Rust enabled, or simply older client). So it make it possible to enable
persistent nodemap on client, where it can provide a massive boost. without too
much consequence.

To do so, we stop using it in the advertisement requirements for streaming and
let the client add/remove the necessary file depending of its configuration.

We still send the files as it seems like a small save to not regenerate them.
In addition, the way we match them will overlap with the changelog-v2/revlog-v2
so we can't simply skip the associated patterns.

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.
