wireproto: require POST for all HTTPv2 requests

Wire protocol version 1 transfers argument data via request
headers by default. This has historically caused problems because
servers institute limits on the length of individual HTTP headers
as well as the total size of all request headers. Mercurial servers
can advertise the maximum length of an individual header. But
there's no guarantee any intermediate HTTP agents will accept
headers up to that length.

In the existing wire protocol, server operators typically also
key off the HTTP request method to implement authentication.
For example, GET requests translate to read-only requests and
can be allowed. But read-write commands must use POST and require
authentication. This has typically worked because the only wire
protocol commands that use POST modify the repo (e.g. the
"unbundle" command).

There is an experimental feature to enable clients to transmit
argument data via POST request bodies. This is technically a
better and more robust solution. But we can't enable it by default
because of servers assuming POST means write access.

In version 2 of the wire protocol, the permissions of a request
are encoded in the URL. And with it being a new protocol in a new
URL space, we're not constrained by backwards compatibility
requirements.

This commit adopts the technically superior mechanism of using
HTTP request bodies to send argument data by requiring POST for
all commands. Strictly speaking, it may be possible to send
request bodies on GET requests. But my experience is that not all
HTTP stacks support this. POST pretty much always works. Using POST
for read-only operations does sacrifice some RESTful design
purity. But this API cares about practicality, not about being
in Roy T. Fielding's REST ivory tower.

There's a chance we may relax this restriction in the future. But
for now, I want to see how far we can get with a POST only API.

#require unix-permissions

test that new files created in .hg inherit the permissions from .hg/store

  $ mkdir dir

just in case somebody has a strange $TMPDIR

  $ chmod g-s dir
  $ cd dir

  $ umask 077

  $ hg init repo
  $ cd repo

  $ chmod 0770 .hg/store

before commit
store can be written by the group, other files cannot
store is setgid

after commit
working dir files can only be written by the owner
files created in .hg can be written by the group
(in particular, store/**, dirstate, branch cache file, undo files)
new directories are setgid

Test that we don't lose the setgid bit when we call chmod.
Not all systems support setgid directories (e.g. HFS+), so
just check that directories have the same mode.

  $ cd ..
  $ hg init setgid
  $ cd setgid
  $ chmod g+rwx .hg/store
  $ chmod g+s .hg/store 2> /dev/null || true
  $ mkdir dir
  $ touch dir/file
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add dir/file'
  $ storemode=`$PYTHON ../mode.py .hg/store`
  $ dirmode=`$PYTHON ../mode.py .hg/store/data/dir`
  $ if [ "$storemode" != "$dirmode" ]; then
  >  echo "$storemode != $dirmode"
  > fi
  $ cd ..

  $ cd .. # g-s dir
