util: make capacity a public attribute on lrucachedict
So others can query it. Useful for operations that may want to verify
the cache has capacity for N items before it performs an operation that
may cause cache eviction.

util: properly copy lrucachedict instances
Previously, copy() only worked if the cache was full. We teach

tests: rewrite test-lrucachedict.py to use unittest
This makes the code so much easier to test and debug.
Along the way, I discovered a bug in copy(), which I kind of
added test coverage for.

wireprotov2peer: stream decoded responses
Previously, wire protocol version 2 would buffer all response data.
Only once all data was received did we CBOR decode it and resolve
the future associated with the command. This was obviously not
desirable. In future commits that introduce large response payloads,
this caused significant memory bloat and slowed down client
operations due to waiting on the server.
This commit refactors the response handling code so that response
data can be streamed.
Command response objects now contain a buffered CBOR decoder. As
new data arrives, it is fed into the decoder. Decoded objects are
made available to the generator as they are decoded.
Because there is a separate thread processing incoming frames and
feeding data into the response object, there is the potential for
race conditions when mutating response objects. So a lock has been
added to guard access to critical state variables.
Because the generator emitting decoded objects needs to wait on
those objects to become available, we've added an Event for the
generator to wait on so it doesn't busy loop. This does mean
there is the potential for deadlocks. And I'm pretty sure they can
occur in some scenarios. We already have a handful of TODOs around
this. But I've added some more. Fixing this will likely require
moving the background thread receiving frames into clienthandler.
We likely would have done this anyway when implementing the client
bits for the SSH transport.
Test output changes because the initial CBOR map holding the overall
response state is now always handled internally by the response
object.

wireprotoframing: buffer emitted data to reduce frame count
An upcoming commit introduces a wire protocol command that can emit
hundreds of thousands of small objects. Without a buffering layer,
we would emit a single, small frame for every object. Performance
profiling revealed this to be a source of significant overhead for
both client and server.
This commit introduces a very crude buffering layer so that we emit
fewer, bigger frames in such a scenario. This code will likely get
rewritten in the future to be part of the streams API, as we'll
need a similar strategy for compressing data. I don't want to think
about it too much at the moment though.
server
before: user 32.500+0.000 sys 1.160+0.000
after: user 20.230+0.010 sys 0.180+0.000
client
before: user 133.400+0.000 sys 93.120+0.000
after: user 68.370+0.000 sys 32.950+0.000
This appears to indicate we have significant overhead in the frame
processing code on both client and server. It might be worth profiling
that at some point...

wireprotov2: implement commands as a generator of objects
Previously, wire protocol version 2 inherited version 1's model of
having separate types to represent the results of different wire
protocol commands.
As I implemented more powerful commands in future commits, I found
I was using a common pattern of returning a special type to hold a
generator. This meant the command function required a closure to
do most of the work. That made logic flow more difficult to follow.
I also noticed that many commands were effectively a sequence of
objects to be CBOR encoded.
I think it makes sense to define version 2 commands as generators.
This way, commands can simply emit the data structures they wish to
send to the client. This eliminates the need for a closure in
command functions and removes encoding from the bodies of commands.
As part of this commit, the handling of response objects has been
moved into the serverreactor class. This puts the reactor in the
driver's seat with regards to CBOR encoding and error handling.
Having error handling in the function that emits frames is
particularly important because exceptions in that function can lead
to things getting in a bad state: I'm fairly certain that uncaught
exceptions in the frame generator were causing deadlocks.
I also introduced a dedicated error type for explicit error reporting
in command handlers. This will be used in subsequent commits.
There's still a bit of work to be done here, especially around
formalizing the error handling "protocol." I've added yet another
TODO to track this so we don't forget.
Test output changed because we're using generators and no longer know
we are at the end of the data until we hit the end of the generator.
This means we can't emit the end-of-stream flag until we've exhausted
the generator. Hence the introduction of 0-sized end-of-stream frames.

internals: extract frame-based protocol docs to own document
wireprotocol.txt is quite long and difficult to digest. The
frame-based protocol is effectively a standalone concept (and could
even be used outside of Mercurial). So this commit extracts its
docs to a standalone file.
The first few paragraphs were rewritten as part of the extraction.
Sections headers were adjusted accordingly.
Existing referalls in wireprotocol.txt were updated to refer to the
new doc / concept, which I've started referring to as `hgrpc`.
I'm on the fence as to whether to move the HTTP and SSH transport
details to the new doc as well. For now, I'm leaving them in
wireprotocol.txt.

hg: write narrow patterns after repo creation
Now that hg.clone() knows when a narrow clone is requested, it
makes sense to have it update the narrow patterns for the repo
soon after the repo is created, before any exchange occurs.
Previously, the narrow extension was monkeypatching an exchange
function to do this. The old code is redundant and has been
removed.

narrow: don't wrap exchange.pull() during clone
The wrapped version was setting up the narrow repo requirement when
a narrow clone was requested.
Previous commits taught hg.clone() and repo creation to add the narrow
requirement when a narrow clone was requested. So this requirement
should already be set up for us and this code is no longer necessary.

exchange: support defining narrow file patterns for pull
This commit teaches exchange.pull() about the desire to perform a
narrow file pull. We simply pass include and exclude patterns to
the function. The values are validated and stored on the pulloperation
instance.
hg.clone() has been taught to pass these arguments to exchange.pull().
If the arguments are not passed to exchange.pull(), the active narrow
patterns from the repository will automatically be used. We /could/
always use the narrow patterns from the repo. However, allowing
explicit values to be passed in allows us to perform data fetching
that doesn't necessarily align with the repo configuration. This
provides more flexibility.
