localrepo: remove unused requirements attributes on localpeer (API)
The previous changeset removed the last consumer of requirements. I'm
not sure when supportedformats became unused. But I couldn't find
any obvious instances where it is being used. It likely stems from
peers being derived from repository instances several years ago and
is a holdover from that day.

exchange: access requirements on repo instead of peer
As part of formalizing the peer interface, I audited for attribute
accesses for non-internal names to find API violations. This
uncovered the code changed in this commit.
localpeer.requirements is just an alias to the repo's requirements
attribute. So, change the code to get the data from the source
instead of relying on a one-off attribute in the localpeer type.

exchange: drop support for lock-based unbundling (BC)
Locking over the wire protocol and the "addchangegroup" wire
protocol command has been deprecated since
e8c4f3d3df8c, which was
first part of Mercurial 0.9.1.
Support for handling these commands from sshserver was dropped in
9f6e0e7ef828 in 2015, effectively locking out pre 0.9.1 clients
from new servers.
However, client-side code for calling lock and addchangegroup is
still present in exchange.py and the various peer classes to
facilitate pushing to pre 0.9.1 servers.
The lock-based pushing mechanism is extremely brittle. 0.9.1 was
released in July 2006 and I highly doubt anyone is still running
such an ancient version of Mercurial on a server. I'm about to
refactor the peer API and I don't think it is worth keeping
support for this ancient protocol feature. So, this commit removes
client support for the lock-based pushing mechanism. This means
modern clients will no longer be able to push to pre 0.9.1 servers.
