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.

Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D8148

== New Features ==

 * Windows will process hgrc files in %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\hgrc.d.


== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==

 * The `indent()` template function was documented to not indent empty lines,
   but it still indented the first line even if it was empty. It no longer does
   that.

== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==


== Internal API Changes ==

 * Matcher instances no longer have a `explicitdir` property. Consider
   rewriting your code to use `repo.wvfs.isdir()` and/or
   `ctx.hasdir()` instead. Also, the `traversedir` property is now
   also called when only `explicitdir` used to be called. That may
   mean that you can simply remove the use of `explicitdir` if you
   were already using `traversedir`.

 * The `revlog.nodemap` object have been merged into the `revlog.index` object.
   * `n in revlog.nodemap` becomes `revlog.index.has_node(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap[n]` becomes `revlog.index.rev(n)`,
   * `revlog.nodemap.get(n)` becomes `revlog.index.get_rev(n)`.

 * `copies.duplicatecopies()` was renamed to
   `copies.graftcopies()`. Its arguments changed from revision numbers
   to context objects. It also lost its `repo` and `skip` arguments
   (they should no longer be needed).
