tests: add some basic tests of phabricator interactions
This uses the vcr library to avoid hitting phabricator on every test
execution. In order to generate new recordings (vcr calls them
cassettes) just remove the appropriate json file, and the test will
regenerate it. It's not my favorite way to test things, but it'll let
us have test coverage on the phabricator extension that'll make it
resilient to refactors in core and let us move it to hgext.
In the future, it'd probably be better to have a docker container we
can spin up for creating the vcr recordings, but for now this is
enough better than nothing I'm going to declare victory.
Coverage reports about 73% of the extension is now covered.

py3: allow run-tests.py to run on Windows
This is now functional:
HGMODULEPOLICY=py py -3 run-tests.py --local test-help.t --pure --view bcompare
However, on this machine without a C compiler, it tries to load cext anyway, and
blows up. I haven't looked into why, other than to see that it does set the
environment variable. When the test exits though, I see it can't find
killdaemons.py, get-with-headers.py, etc.
I have no idea why these changes are needed, given that it runs on Linux. But
os.system() is insisting that it take a str, and subprocess.Popen() blows up
without str:

wireprotov2: let clients drive delta behavior
Previously, the "manifestdata" and "filedata" commands assumed the
receiver had all parent revisions for requested nodes. Unless the
revision had no parents, they emitted a delta instead of a fulltext.
This strategy isn't appropriate for shallow clones and for clients
that only want to access fulltext revision data for a single node
without fetching their parent revisions.
This commit adds an "haveparents" argument to the "manifestdata"
and "filedata" commands that controls delta generation behavior.
Unless "haveparents" is set, the server assumes that the client
doesn't have parent revisions unless they were previously sent
as part of the current group of revisions.
This change allows the fulltext revision data of any individual
revision to be obtained. This will facilitate shallow clones
and other data retrieval strategies that don't require all previous
revisions of an entity to be fetched.

exchangev2: fetch file revisions
Now that the server has an API for fetching file data, we can call into
it to fetch file revisions.
The implementation is relatively straightforward: we examine the
manifests that we fetched and find all new file revisions referenced
by them. We build up a mapping from file path to file nodes to
manifest node. (The mapping to first manifest node allows us to
map back to first changelog node/revision, which is used for the
linkrev.)
Once that map is built up, we iterate over it in a deterministic
manner and fetch and store file data. The code is very similar
to manifest fetching. So similar that we could probably extract the
common bits into a generic function.
With file data retrieval implemented, `hg clone` and `hg pull` are
effectively feature complete, at least as far as the completeness
of data transfer for essential repository data (changesets, manifests,
files, phases, and bookmarks). We're still missing support for
obsolescence markers, the hgtags fnodes cache, and the branchmap
cache. But these are non-essential for the moment (and will be
implemented later).
This is a good point to assess the state of exchangev2 in terms of
performance. I ran a local `hg clone` for the mozilla-unified
repository using both version 1 and version 2 of the wire protocols
and exchange methods. This is effectively comparing the performance
of the wire protocol overhead and "getbundle" versus domain-specific
commands. Wire protocol version 2 doesn't have compression implemented
yet. So I tested version 1 with `server.compressionengines=none` to
remove compression overhead from the equation.
server
before: user 220.420+0.000 sys 14.420+0.000
after: user 321.980+0.000 sys 18.990+0.000
client
before: real 561.650 secs (user 497.670+0.000 sys 28.160+0.000)
after: real 1226.260 secs (user 944.240+0.000 sys 354.150+0.000)
We have substantial regressions on both client and server. This
is obviously not desirable. I'm aware of some reasons:
* Lack of hgtagsfnodes transfer (contributes significant CPU to
client).
* Lack of branch cache transfer (contributes significant CPU to
client).
* Little to no profiling / optimization performed on wire protocol
version 2 code.
* There appears to be a memory leak on the client and that is likely
causing swapping on my machine.
* Using multiple threads on the client may be counter-productive because
Python.
* We're not compressing on the server.
* We're tracking file nodes on the client via manifest diffing
rather than using linkrev shortcuts on the server.
I'm pretty confident that most of these issues are addressable.
But even if we can't get wire protocol version 2 on performance parity
with "getbundle," I still think it is important to have the set of low
level data-specific retrieval commands that we have implemented so
far. This is because the existence of such commands allows flexibility
in how clients access server data.

wireprotov2: define and implement "filedata" command
Continuing our trend of implementing *data commands for retrieving
information about specific repository data primitives, this commit
implements a command for retrieving data about an individual tracked
file.
The command is very similar to "manifestdata." The only significant
difference is that we have a standalone function for obtaining
storage for a tracked file. This is to provide a monkeypatch point
for extensions to implement path-based access control.
With this API available, wire protocol version 2 now exposes all
data primitives necessary to implement a full clone. Of course,
since "filedata" can only resolve data for a single path at a time,
clients would need to issue N commands to perform a full clone. On
the Firefox repository, this would be ~461k commands. We'll likely
need to implement a file data retrieval command that supports
multiple paths. But that can be implemented later.

exchangev2: fetch manifest revisions
Now that the server has support for retrieving manifest data, we can
implement the client bits to call it.
We teach the changeset fetching code to capture the manifest revisions
that are encountered on incoming changesets. We then feed this into a
new function which filters out known manifests and then batches up
manifest data requests to the server.
This is different from the previous wire protocol in a few notable
ways.
First, the client fetches manifest data separately and explicitly.
Before, we'd ask the server for data pertaining to some changesets
(via a "getbundle" command) and manifests (and files) would be sent
automatically. Providing an API for looking up just manifest data
separately gives clients much more flexibility for manifest management.
For example, a client may choose to only fetch manifest data on demand
instead of prefetching it (i.e. partial clone).
Second, we send N commands to the server for manifest retrieval instead
of 1. This property has a few nice side-effects. One is that the
deterministic nature of the requests lends itself to server-side
caching. For example, say the remote has 50,000 manifests. If the
server is configured to cache responses, each time a new commit
arrives, you will have a cache miss and need to regenerate all outgoing
data. But if you makes N requests requesting 10,000 manifests each,
a new commit will still yield cache hits on the initial, unchanged
manifest batches/requests.
A derived benefit from these properties is that resumable clone is
conceptually simpler to implement. When making a monolithic request
for all of the repository data, recovering from an interrupted clone
is hard because the server was in the driver's seat and was maintaining
state about all the data that needed transferred. With the client
driving fetching, the client can persist the set of unfetched entities
and retry/resume a fetch if something goes wrong. Or we can fetch all
data N changesets at a time and slowly build up a repository. This
approach is drastically easier to implement when we have server APIs
exposing low-level repository primitives (such as manifests and files).
We don't yet support tree manifests. But it should be possible to
implement that with the existing wire protocol command.

wireprotov2: define and implement "manifestdata" command
The added command can be used for obtaining manifest data.
Given a manifest path and set of manifest nodes, data about
manifests can be retrieved.
Unlike changeset data, we wish to emit deltas to describe
manifest revisions. So the command uses the relatively new
API for building delta requests and emitting them.
The code calls into deltaparent(), which I'm not very keen of.
There's still work to be done in delta generation land so
implementation details of storage (e.g. exactly one delta
is stored/available) don't creep into higher levels. But we
can worry about this later (there is already a TODO on
imanifestorage tracking this).
On the subject of parent deltas, the server assumes parent revisions
exist on the receiving end. This is obviously wrong for shallow
clone. I've added TODOs to add a mechanism to the command to
allow clients to specify desired behavior. This shouldn't be
too difficult to implement.
Another big change is that the client must explicitly request
manifest nodes to retrieve. This is a major departure from
"getbundle," where the server derives relevant manifests as it
iterates changesets and sends them automatically. As implemented,
the client must transmit each requested node to the server. At
20 bytes per node, we're looking at 2 MB per 100,000 nodes. Plus
wire encoding overhead. This isn't ideal for clients with limited
upload bandwidth. I plan to address this in the future by allowing
alternate mechanisms for defining the revisions to retrieve. One
idea is to define a range of changeset revisions whose manifest
revisions to retrieve (similar to how "changesetdata" works).
We almost certainly want an API to look up an individual manifest
by node. And that's where I've chosen to start with the implementation.
Again, a theme of this early exchangev2 work is I want to start by
building primitives for accessing raw repository data first and see
how far we can get with those before we need more complexity.
