wireproto: use named arguments for commandentry
We'll be adding more arguments in upcoming commits. Using named
arguments will make the code easier to read.

debugcommands: support for triggering push protocol
The mechanism for pushing to a remote is a bit more complicated
than other commands. On SSH, we wait for a positive reply from
the server before we start sending the bundle payload.
This commit adds a mechanism to the "command" action in
`hg debugwireproto` to trigger the "push protocol" and to
specify a file whose contents should be submitted as the command
payload.
With this new feature, we implement a handful of tests for the
"unbundle" command. We try to cover various server failures and
hook/output scenarios so protocol behavior is as comprehensively
tested as possible. Even with so much test output, we only cover
bundle1 with Python hooks. There's still a lot of test coverage
that needs to be implemented. But this is certainly a good start.
Because there are so many new tests, we split these tests into their
own test file.
In order to make output deterministic, we need to disable the
doublepipe primitive. We add an option to `hg debugwireproto`
to do that. Because something in the bowels of the peer does a
read of stderr, we still capture read I/O from stderr. So there
is test coverage of what the server emits.
The tests around I/O capture some wonkiness. For example,
interleaved ui.write() and ui.write_err() calls are emitted in
order. However, (presumably due to buffering), print() to
sys.stdout and sys.stderr aren't in order.
We currently only test bundle1 because bundle2 is substantially
harder to test because it is more complicated (the server responds
with a stream containing a bundle2 instead of a frame).

sshpeer: support not reading and forwarding stderr
The "doublepipe" primitive as used by sshpeer will automatically read
from stderr and forward output to the local ui.
This poses problems for deterministic testing because reads may not
be consistent. For example, the server may not be done sending all
output to stderr and the client will perform different numbers of
read operations or will read from stderr and stdout at different times.
To make tests deterministic, we'll need to disable the "doublepipe"
primitive and perform stderr I/O explicitly. We add an argument to the
sshpeer constructor to disable the use of the doublepipe.

debugcommands: support for sending "batch" requests
Let's teach `hg debugwireproto` to send "batch" requests.
The easiest way to implement this was as a pair of instructions to
begin and end a batched operation. Otherwise, we would have to reinvent
the parsing wheel or factor out the parsing code.
To prove it works, we add a batched request to test-ssh-proto.t.

debugcommands: allow sending of simple commands with debugwireproto
Previously, we only had support for low-level "raw" operations.
A goal of `hg debugwireproto` is to allow easily performing
higher-level primitives, such as sending a wire protocol command
and reading its response.
We implement a "command" action that does just this.
Currently, we only support simple commands (those without payloads).
We have basic support for sending command arguments. We don't yet
support sending dictionary arguments. This will be implemented later.
To prove it works, we add tests to test-ssh-proto.t that send some
"listkeys" commands.
Note: we don't observe/report os.read() events because these may not be
deterministic. We instead observe/report the read() and readline()
operations on the bufferedinputpipe. These *should* be deterministic.

wireproto: sort response to listkeys
The listkeys protocol is defined to produce a dictionary.
pushkey.decodekeys() uses a plain dict to hold the decoded results
of the wire protocol response. So order should not matter.
Upcoming tests will verify low-level output of wire protocol
commands and the non-deterministic emitting of listkeys was causing
intermittent failures.
So we make the output of listkeys deterministic.

debugcommands: add debugwireproto command
We currently don't have a low-level mechanism for sending
arbitrary wire protocol commands. Having a generic and robust
mechanism for sending wire protocol commands, examining wire
data, etc would make it vastly easier to test the wire protocol
and debug server operation. This is a problem I've wanted a
solution for numerous times, especially recently as I've been
hacking on a new version of the wire protocol.
This commit establishes a `hg debugwireproto` command for sending
data to a peer.
The command invents a mini language for specifying actions to take.
This will enable a lot of flexibility for issuing commands and testing
variations for how commands are sent.
Right now, we only support low-level raw sends and receives. These
are probably the least valuable commands to intended users of this
command. But they are the most useful commands to implement to
bootstrap the feature (I've chosen to reimplement test-ssh-proto.t
using this command to prove its usefulness).
My eventual goal of `hg debugwireproto` is to allow calling wire
protocol commands with a human-friendly interface. Essentially,
people can type in a command name and arguments and
`hg debugwireproto` will figure out how to send that on the wire.
I'd love to eventually be able to save the server's raw response
to a file. This would allow us to e.g. call "getbundle" wire
protocol commands easily.
test-ssh-proto.t has been updated to use the new command in lieu
of piping directly to a server process. As part of the transition,
test behavior improved. Before, we piped all request data to the
server at once. Now, we have explicit control over the ordering of
operations. e.g. we can send one command, receive its response,
then send another command. This will allow us to more robustly
test race conditions, buffering behavior, etc.
There were some subtle changes in test behavior. For example,
previous behavior would often send trailing newlines to the server.
The new mechanism doesn't treat literal newlines specially and
requires newlines be escaped in the payload.
Because the new logging code is very low level, it is easy to
introduce race conditions in tests. For example, the number of bytes
returned by a read() may vary depending on load. This is why tests
make heavy use of "readline" for consuming data: the result of
that operation should be deterministic and not subject to race
conditions. There are still some uses of "readavailable." However,
those are only for reading from stderr. I was able to reproduce
timing issues with my system under load when using "readavailable"
globally. But if I "readline" to grab stdout, "readavailable"
appears to work deterministically for stderr. I think this is
because the server writes to stderr first. As long as the OS
delivers writes to pipes in the same order they were made, this
should work. If there are timing issues, we can introduce a
mechanism to readline from stderr.

debugcommands: add debugserve command
`hg serve --stdio` requires the exact command argument form
`hg -R <path> serve --stdio` for security reasons. An upcoming
commit will need to start an SSH protocol server process with
custom settings.
This commit creates a `hg debugserve` command for starting servers
with custom options. There are no security restrictions and we can
add options here that aren't appropriate for built-in commands.
We currently only support starting an SSH protocol server using
the process's stdio file descriptors. The server supports logging
its I/O activity to a file descriptor number passed as a command
argument.

wireprotoserver: support logging SSH server I/O to a file descriptor
We will soon introduce a debug command and tests for low-level I/O
behavior of the SSH wire protocol.
To facilitate this, we need to instrument the SSH server so it
can log its I/O as events occur.
We teach the SSH server to convert its stdout and stderr file objects
into file object proxies. We configure these proxies to log to a
file descriptor whose file number is specified via a config option.
The idea is to have a future debug command start the SSH server
process with access to an extra file descriptor that can be used
by the server process to log I/O. Monitoring only the write I/O
will be more robust than monitoring both writes and reads from the
client process because read operations are not deterministic. This
will matter for tests that capture raw I/O activity.
