repair: move check for existing transaction earlier
Several benefits:
* Gets close the comment describing it
* Splits off unrelated comment about "backup" argument
* Error checking is customarily done early
* If we added an early return to the method, it would still
consistently fail if there was an existing transaction (so
we would find and fix that case quickly)
One test needs updating with for this change, because we no longer
create the backup bundle before we fail. I don't see much reason to
create that backup bundle. If some command was adding content and then
trying to strip it as well within the transaction, we would have a
backup for the user, but the risk of that not being discovered in
development seems very small.
A new repository uses zlib storage, which doesn't need a requirement
$ hg init default
$ cd default
$ cat .hg/requires
dotencode
fncache
generaldelta
revlogv1
store
$ touch foo
$ hg -q commit -A -m 'initial commit with a lot of repeated repeated repeated text to trigger compression'
$ hg debugrevlog -c | grep 0x78
0x78 (x) : 1 (100.00%)
0x78 (x) : 110 (100.00%)
$ cd ..
Unknown compression engine to format.compression aborts
$ hg --config experimental.format.compression=unknown init unknown
abort: compression engine unknown defined by experimental.format.compression not available
(run "hg debuginstall" to list available compression engines)
[255]
A requirement specifying an unknown compression engine results in bail
$ hg init unknownrequirement
$ cd unknownrequirement
$ echo exp-compression-unknown >> .hg/requires
$ hg log
abort: repository requires features unknown to this Mercurial: exp-compression-unknown!
(see https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MissingRequirement for more information)

#if zstd
$ hg --config experimental.format.compression=zstd init zstd

Specifying a new format.compression on an existing repo won't introduce data
with that engine or a requirement
$ cd default
$ touch bar
$ hg --config experimental.format.compression=zstd -q commit -A -m 'add bar with a lot of repeated repeated repeated text'
$ cat .hg/requires
