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.

Issue746: renaming files brought by the second parent of a merge was
broken.

Create source repository:

  $ hg init t
  $ cd t
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Am a
  adding a
  $ cd ..

Fork source repository:

  $ hg clone t t2
  updating to branch default
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd t2
  $ echo b > b
  $ hg ci -Am b
  adding b

Update source repository:

  $ cd ../t
  $ echo a >> a
  $ hg ci -m a2

Merge repositories:

  $ hg pull ../t2
  pulling from ../t2
  searching for changes
  adding changesets
  adding manifests
  adding file changes
  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files (+1 heads)
  new changesets d2ae7f538514
  (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge)

  $ hg merge
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

  $ hg st
  M b

Rename b as c:

  $ hg mv b c
  $ hg st
  A c
  R b

Rename back c as b:

  $ hg mv c b
  $ hg st
  M b

  $ cd ..

Issue 1476: renaming a first parent file into another first parent
file while none of them belong to the second parent was broken

  $ hg init repo1476
  $ cd repo1476
  $ echo a > a
  $ hg ci -Am adda
  adding a
  $ echo b1 > b1
  $ echo b2 > b2
  $ hg ci -Am changea
  adding b1
  adding b2
  $ hg up -C 0
  0 files updated, 0 files merged, 2 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo c1 > c1
  $ echo c2 > c2
  $ hg ci -Am addcandd
  adding c1
  adding c2
  created new head

Merge heads:

  $ hg merge
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

  $ hg mv -Af c1 c2

Commit issue 1476:

  $ hg ci -m merge

  $ hg log -r tip -C -v | grep copies
  copies:      c2 (c1)

  $ hg rollback
  repository tip rolled back to revision 2 (undo commit)
  working directory now based on revisions 2 and 1

  $ hg up -C .
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 2 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Merge heads again:

  $ hg merge
  2 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  (branch merge, don't forget to commit)

  $ hg mv -Af b1 b2

Commit issue 1476 with a rename on the other side:

  $ hg ci -m merge

  $ hg log -r tip -C -v | grep copies
  copies:      b2 (b1)

  $ cd ..
