upgrade: clearly list optimisations
This makes the command operation clearer. And this will be necessary to have
a short version of this information with the next changesets, teaching `hg
debugupgraderepo` about `--quiet`.

nodemap: move and update the commend about persistence being experimental
The comment was at the wrong place (on the developer option instead of the
activation switch). So we move it at the right location and update it.

nodemap: move the main switch to the `format` section
The config to enable persistent nodemap is now `format.use-persistent-nodemap`.
However the option remain marked as experimental because it only improve
performance for people using the rust extensions.

nodemap: drop the 'exp-' prefix for internal opener option
The feature is now in a descent shape and we can consider having it "less"
experimental.
We won't be able to make it "totally" non-experimental, because its benefit
rely on rust, which is totally experimental.

nodemap: gate the feature behind a new requirement
Now that the feature is working smoothly, a question was still open, should we
gate the feature behind a new requirement or just treat it as a cache to be
warmed by those who can and ignored by other.
The advantage of using the cache approach is a transparent upgrade/downgrade
story, making the feature easier to move to. However having out of date cache
can come with a significant performance hit for process who expect an up to
date cache but found none. In this case the file needs to be stored under
`.hg/cache`.
The "requirement" approach guarantee that the persistent nodemap is up to date.
However, it comes with a less flexible activation story since an explicite
upgrade is required. In this case the file can be stored in `.hg/store`.
This wiki page is relevant to this questions:
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ComputedIndexPlan
So which one should we take? Another element came into plan, the persistent
nodemap use the `add` method of the transaction, it is used to keep track of a
file content before a transaction in case we need to rollback it back. It turns
out that the `transaction.add` API does not support file stored anywhere than
`.hg/store`. Making it support file stored elsewhere is possible, require a
change in on disk transaction format. Updating on disk file requires…
introducing a new requirements.
As a result, we pick the second option "gating the persistent nodemap behind a
new requirements".

nodemap: add a new mode value, "strict"
When "strict" is set, operation will refuse to use the slow path and abort if
they would. This is useful for testing, benchmarking and server operation.

nodemap: add a new mode option, with an optional "warn" value
When "warn" is set, user will get notified when the slow code, used for
compatibility is used. This can help people to detect situation were using that
feature will give them a slowdown instead of a speedup.
