wireprotov2: define and implement "changesetdata" command This commit introduces the "changesetdata" wire protocol command. The role of the command is to expose data associated with changelog revisions, including the raw revision data itself. This command is the first piece of a new clone/pull strategy that is built on top of domain-specific commands for data retrieval. Instead of a monolithic "getbundle" command that transfers all of the things, we'll be introducing commands for fetching specific pieces of data. Since the changeset is the fundamental unit from which we derive pointers to other data (manifests, file nodes, etc), it makes sense to start reimplementing pull with this data. The command accepts as arguments a set of root and head revisions defining the changesets that should be fetched as well as an explicit list of nodes. By default, the command returns only the node values: the client must explicitly request additional fields be added to the response. Current supported fields are the list of parent nodes and the revision fulltext. My plan is to eventually add support for transferring other data associated with changesets, including phases, bookmarks, obsolescence markers, etc. Since the response format is CBOR, we'll be able to add this data into the response object relatively easily (it should be as simple as adding a key in a map). The documentation captures a number of TODO items. Some of these may require BC breaking changes. That's fine: wire protocol v2 is still highly experimental.

exchangev2: start to implement pull with wire protocol v2 Wire protocol version 2 will take a substantially different approach to exchange than version 1 (at least as far as pulling is concerned). This commit establishes a new exchangev2 module for holding code related to exchange using wire protocol v2. I could have added things to the existing exchange module. But it is already quite big. And doing things inline isn't in question because the existing code is already littered with conditional code for various states of support for the existing wire protocol as it evolved over 10+ years. A new module gives us a chance to make a clean break. This approach does mean we'll end up writing some duplicate code. And there's a significant chance we'll miss functionality as code is ported. The plan is to eventually add #testcase's to existing tests so the new wire protocol is tested side-by-side with the existing one. This will hopefully tease out any features that weren't ported properly. But before we get there, we need to build up support for the new exchange methods. Our journey towards implementing a new exchange begins with pulling. And pulling begins with discovery. The discovery code added to exchangev2 is heavily drawn from the following functions: * exchange._pulldiscoverychangegroup * discovery.findcommonincoming For now, we build on top of existing discovery mechanisms. The new wire protocol should be capable of doing things more efficiently. But I'd rather defer on this problem. To foster the transition, we invent a fake capability on the HTTPv2 peer and have the main pull code in exchange.py call into exchangev2 when the new wire protocol is being used.
