util: remove compressors dict (API)
We no longer have any in-tree consumers of this object. Use
util.compengines instead.

bundle2: use new compression engine API for compression
Now that we have a new API to define compression engines, let's put it
to use!
The new code stores a reference to the compression engine instead of
a low-level compressor object. This will allow us to more easily
transition to different APIs on the compression engine interface
once we implement them.
As part of this, we change the registration in bundletypes to use 'UN'
instead of None. Previously, util.compressors had the no-op compressor
registered under both the 'UN' and None keys. Since we're switching to
a new API, I don't see the point in carrying this dual registration
forward.

util: create new abstraction for compression engines
Currently, util.py has "compressors" and "decompressors" dicts
mapping compression algorithms to callables returning objects that
perform well-defined operations. In addition, revlog.py has code
for calling into a compressor or decompressor explicitly. And, there
is code in the wire protocol for performing zlib compression.
The 3rd party lz4revlog extension has demonstrated the utility of
supporting alternative compression formats for revlog storage. But
it stops short of supporting lz4 for bundles and the wire protocol.
There are also plans to support zstd as a general compression
replacement.
So, there appears to be a market for a unified API for registering
compression engines. This commit starts the process of establishing
one.
This commit establishes a base class/interface for defining
compression engines and how they will be used. A collection class
to hold references to registered compression engines has also been
introduced.
The built-in zlib, bz2, truncated bz2, and no-op compression engines
are registered with a singleton instance of the collection class.
The compression engine API will change once consumers are ported
to the new API and some common patterns can be simplified at the
engine API level. So don't get too attached to the API...

config: mark parser regexes as bytes explicitly
r-strings are not transformed into bytes by our source transformer magic.

ui: explicitly open config files in binary mode
This has been working mostly accidentally, but now it works explicitly.

help: fix double word usage
"most" was used twice.
(I fixed a grammar error before timeless spotted it!)
