revlog-compression: update the config to be a list

format.revlog-compression is now a list of engine, the first supported one is to
be used. Doing this have several benefits:

1) this is fully backward compatible, config using a single entry will be read
as a single item list, not changing any behavior.

2) This open the way to use zstd by default without impacting platform were it
is not available. This will be done in a later changesets.

Using zstd provide a significant performance boost explained in : bb271ec2fbfb.
However zstd is not available in some cases, A notable example is the `--pure`
version of Mercurial which doesn't come with zstd support.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
