exchange: support parameters in bundle specification strings
Sometimes a basic type string is not sufficient for representing the
contents of a bundle. Take bundle2 for example: future bundle2 files may
contain parts that today's bundle2 parser can't read. Another example is
stream clone data. These require clients to support specific
repository formats or they won't be able to read the written files. In
both scenarios, we need to describe additional metadata beyond the outer
container type. Furthermore, this metadata behaves more like an
unordered set, so an order-based declaration format (such as static
strings) is not sufficient.
We introduce support for "parameters" into the bundle specification
string. These are essentially key-value pairs that can be used to encode
additional metadata about the bundle.
Semicolons are used as the delimiter partially to increase similarity to
MIME parameter values (see RFC 2231) and because they are relatively
safe from the command line (although values will need quotes to avoid
interpretation as multiple shell commands). Alternatives considered were
spaces (a bit annoying to encode) and '&' (similar to URL query strings)
(which will do bad things in a shell if unquoted).
The parsing function now returns a dict of parsed parameters and
consumers have been updated accordingly.

commands: support consuming stream clone bundles
For the same reasons that we don't produce stream clone bundles with `hg
bundle`, we don't support consuming stream clone bundles with `hg
unbundle`. We introduce a complementary debug command for applying
stream clone bundles. This command is mostly to facilitate testing.
Although it may be used to manually apply stream clone bundles until a
more formal mechanism is (possibly) adopted.

commands: support creating stream clone bundles
Now that we have support for recognizing the streaming clone bundle
type, add a debug command for creating them.
I decided to create a new debug command instead of adding support to `hg
bundle` because stream clone bundles are not exactly used the same way
as normal bundle files and I don't want to commit to supporting them
through the official `hg bundle` command forever. A debug command,
however, can be changed without as much concern for backwards
compatibility.
As part of this, `hg bundle` will explicitly reject requests to produce
stream bundles.
This command will be required by server operators using stream clone
bundles with the clone bundles feature.

exchange: support for streaming clone bundles
Now that we have a mechanism to produce and consume streaming clone
bundles, we need to teach the human-facing bundle specification parser
and the internal bundle file header reading code to be aware of this new
format. This patch does so.
For the human-facing bundle specification, we choose the name "packed"
to describe "streaming clone bundles" because the bundle is essentially
a "pack" of raw revlog files that are "packed" together. There should
probably be a bikeshed over the name, especially since it is human
facing.

streamclone: support for producing and consuming stream clone bundles
Up to this point, stream clones only existed as a dynamically generated
data format produced and consumed during streaming clones. In order to
support this efficient cloning format with the clone bundles feature, we
need a more formal, on disk representation of the streaming clone data.
This patch introduces a new "bundle" type for streaming clones. Unlike
existing bundles, it does not contain changegroup data. It does,
however, share the same concepts like the 4 byte header which identifies
the type of data that follows and the 2 byte abbreviation for
compression types (of which only "UN" is currently supported).
The new bundle format is essentially the existing stream clone version 1
data format with some headers at the beginning.
Content negotiation at stream clone request time checked for repository
format/requirements compatibility before initiating a stream clone. We
can't do active content negotiation when using clone bundles. So, we put
this set of requirements inside the payload so consumers have a built-in
mechanism for checking compatibility before reading and applying lots of
data. Of course, we will also advertise this requirements set in clone
bundles. But that's for another patch.
We currently don't have a mechanism to produce and consume this new
bundle format. This will be implemented in upcoming patches.
It's worth noting that if a legacy client attempts to `hg unbundle` a
stream clone bundle (with the "HGS1" header), it will abort with:
"unknown bundle version S1," which seems appropriate.

spelling: fix typo in transaction error messages

transaction: reorder unlinking .hg/journal and .hg/journal.backupfiles
After this reordering, absence of '.hg/journal' just before starting
new transaction means also absence of '.hg/journal.backupfiles'.
In this case, all temporary files for preceding transaction should be
completely unlinked, and HG_PENDING doesn't cause unintentional
reading stalled temporary files in.
Otherwise, 'repo.transaction()' raises exception with "run 'hg
recover' to clean up transaction" hint.

merge: make in-memory changes visible to external update hooks
51844b8b5017 (while 3.4 code-freeze) made all 'update' hooks run after
releasing wlock for visibility of in-memory dirstate changes. But this
breaks paired invocation of 'preupdate' and 'update' hooks.
For example, 'hg backout --merge' for TARGET revision, which isn't
parent of CURRENT, consists of steps below:
1. update from CURRENT to TARGET
2. commit BACKOUT revision, which backs TARGET out
3. update from BACKOUT to CURRENT
4. merge TARGET into CURRENT
Then, we expects hooks to run in the order below:
- 'preupdate' on CURRENT for (1)
- 'update' on TARGET for (1)
- 'preupdate' on BACKOUT for (3)
- 'update' on CURRENT for (3)
- 'preupdate' on TARGET for (4)
- 'update' on CURRENT/TARGET for (4)
But hooks actually run in the order below:
- 'preupdate' on CURRENT for (1)
- 'preupdate' on BACKOUT for (3)
- 'preupdate' on TARGET for (4)
- 'update' on TARGET for (1), but actually on CURRENT/TARGET
- 'update' on CURRENT for (3), but actually on CURRENT/TARGET
- 'update' on CURRENT for (4), but actually on CURRENT/TARGET
Root cause of the issue focused by
51844b8b5017 is that external
'update' hook process can't view in-memory changes (especially, of
dirstate), because they aren't written out until the end of
transaction (or wlock).
Now, hooks can be invoked just after updating, because previous
patches made in-memory changes visible to external process.
This patch may break backward compatibility from the point of view of
"scheduling hook execution", but should be reasonable because 'update'
hooks had been executed in this order before 3.4.
This patch tests "hg backout" and "hg unshelve", because the former
activates the transaction before 'update' hook invocation, but the
former doesn't.
