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.

  $ hg init

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -qAm 'add a'

  $ hg init subrepo
  $ echo 'subrepo = http://example.net/libfoo' > .hgsub
  $ hg ci -qAm 'added subrepo'

  $ hg up -qC 0
  $ echo ax > a
  $ hg ci -m 'changed a'
  created new head

  $ hg up -qC 1
  $ cd subrepo
  $ echo b > b
  $ hg add b
  $ cd ..

Should fail, since there are added files to subrepo:

  $ hg merge
  abort: uncommitted changes in subrepository "subrepo"
  [255]

Deleted files trigger a '+' marker in top level repos.  Deleted files are also
noticed by `update --check` in the top level repo.

  $ hg ci -Sqm 'add b'
  $ echo change > subrepo/b

  $ hg ci -Sm 'change b'
  committing subrepository subrepo

  $ rm a
  $ hg id
  9bfe45a197d7+ tip
  $ hg sum
  parent: 4:9bfe45a197d7 tip
   change b
  branch: default
  commit: 1 deleted (clean)
  update: 1 new changesets, 2 branch heads (merge)
  phases: 5 draft

  $ hg up --check -r '.^'
  abort: uncommitted changes
  [255]
  $ hg st -S
  ! a
  $ hg up -Cq .

Test that dirty is consistent through subrepos

  $ rm subrepo/b

A deleted subrepo file is flagged as dirty, like the top level repo

  $ hg id --config extensions.blackbox= --config blackbox.dirty=True
  9bfe45a197d7+ tip
  $ cat .hg/blackbox.log
  * @9bfe45a197d7b0ab09bf287729dd57e9619c9da5+ (*)> serve --cmdserver chgunix * (glob) (chg !)
  * @9bfe45a197d7b0ab09bf287729dd57e9619c9da5+ (*)> id --config *extensions.blackbox=* --config *blackbox.dirty=True* (glob)
  * @9bfe45a197d7b0ab09bf287729dd57e9619c9da5+ (*)> id --config *extensions.blackbox=* --config *blackbox.dirty=True* exited 0 * (glob)

TODO: a deleted file should be listed as such, like the top level repo

  $ hg sum
  parent: 4:9bfe45a197d7 tip
   change b
  branch: default
  commit: (clean)
  update: 1 new changesets, 2 branch heads (merge)
  phases: 5 draft

Modified subrepo files are noticed by `update --check` and `summary`

  $ echo mod > subrepo/b
  $ hg st -S
  M subrepo/b

  $ hg up -r '.^' --check
  abort: uncommitted changes in subrepository "subrepo"
  [255]

  $ hg sum
  parent: 4:9bfe45a197d7 tip
   change b
  branch: default
  commit: 1 subrepos
  update: 1 new changesets, 2 branch heads (merge)
  phases: 5 draft

TODO: why is -R needed here?  If it's because the subrepo is treated as a
discrete unit, then this should probably warn or something.
  $ hg revert -R subrepo --no-backup subrepo/b -r .

  $ rm subrepo/b
  $ hg st -S
  ! subrepo/b

`hg update --check` notices a subrepo with a missing file, like it notices a
missing file in the top level repo.

  $ hg up -r '.^' --check
  abort: uncommitted changes in subrepository "subrepo"
  [255]

  $ hg up -r '.^' --config ui.interactive=True << EOF
  > d
  > EOF
  other [destination] changed b which local [working copy] deleted
  use (c)hanged version, leave (d)eleted, or leave (u)nresolved? d
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

XXX: There's a difference between wdir() and '.', so there should be a status.
`hg files -S` from the top is also missing 'subrepo/b'.

  $ hg st -S
  $ hg st -R subrepo
  $ hg files -R subrepo
  [1]
  $ hg files -R subrepo -r '.'
  subrepo/b

  $ hg bookmark -r tip @other
  $ echo xyz > subrepo/c
  $ hg ci -SAm 'add c'
  adding subrepo/c
  committing subrepository subrepo
  created new head
  $ rm subrepo/c

Merge sees deleted subrepo files as an uncommitted change

  $ hg merge @other
  abort: uncommitted changes in subrepository "subrepo"
  [255]
