pull: use 'phase-heads' to retrieve phase information A new bundle2 capability 'phases' has been added. If 'heads' is part of the supported value for 'phases', the server supports reading and sending 'phase- heads' bundle2 part. Server is now able to process a 'phases' boolean parameter to 'getbundle'. If 'True', a 'phase-heads' bundle2 part will be included in the bundle with phase information relevant to the whole pulled set. If this method is available the phases listkey namespace will no longer be listed. Beside the more efficient encoding of the data, this new method will greatly improve the phase exchange efficiency for repositories with non-served changesets (obsolete, secret) since we'll no longer send data about the filtered heads. Add a new 'devel.legacy.exchange' config item to allow fallback to the old 'listkey in bundle2' method. Reminder: the pulled set is not just the changesets bundled by the pull. It also contains changeset selected by the "pull specification" on the client side (eg: everything for bare pull). One of the reason why the 'pulled set' is important is to make sure we can move -common- nodes to public.

bundle2: only grab a transaction when 'phase-heads' affect the repository The next patch will use the 'phase-heads' part to exchange phase data relevant to the pulled set. 'handlephases' currently acquires a transaction even in case of no-op pull, which would results in an empty transaction and messing with the existing journal. Pass the transaction fetcher to updatephases so it can fetch it if necessary.

phases: move the binary decoding function in the phases module We move the decoding function near the encoding one in a place where they can be reused in other place (current target, 'exchange.py').

phases: move binary encoding into a reusable function We want to use binary phases for pushing and pulling. We extract the encoding function out of the bundle2 module first.

phases: use a Struct object for binary encoding and decoding We will move the binary encoding and decoding code to 'phases.py' in order to make it easier to reuse. First, let's cleanup it a bit.

discovery: avoid dropping remote heads hidden locally An extra post processing was added to recognize remote heads that are hidden locally as "common" instead of "unknown". However, this processing was removing such hidden heads from the remote heads sets. It had no impact because we used to pull phase information from all remote heads. This series will replace the phase pulling operation to a more efficient process but requires the unmodified pulled set information.

test-patchbomb: use mocktime The test was using system time for displaying ETAs, which could be flaky if the sysload is high. This patch extracts mocktime.py from test-progress.t to make sure test-patchbomb.t is unaffected by system time. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D844
