merge.mergedriver: don't try resolving files marked driver-resolved
The driver is expected to take care of these.

merge.mergestate: add support for persisting driver-resolved files
A driver-resolved file is a file that's handled specially by the driver. A
common use case for this state would be autogenerated files, the generation of
which should happen only after all source conflicts are resolved.
This is done with an uppercase letter because older versions of Mercurial will
not know how to treat such files at all.

merge.mergestate: add support for persisting a custom merge driver
A 'merge driver' is a coordinator for the overall merge process. It will be
able to control:
- tools for individual files, much like the merge-patterns configuration does
today
- tools that can work across groups of files
- the ordering of file resolution
- resolution of automatically generated files
- adding and removing additional files to and from the dirstate
Since it is a critical part of the merge process, it really is part of the
merge state.
This is a lowercase character (i.e. optional) because ignoring this is fine for
older versions of Mercurial -- however, if there are any files that are
specially treated by the driver, we should abort. That will happen in upcoming
patches.
There is a potential security issue with storing the merge driver in the merge
state. See the inline comments for more details.

exchange: support sorting URLs by client-side preferences
Not all bundles are appropriate for all clients. For example, someone
with a slow Internet connection may want to prefer bz2 bundles over gzip
bundles because they are smaller and don't take as long to transfer.
This is information that a server cannot know on its own. So, we invent
a mechanism for "preferring" server-advertised URLs based on their
attributes.
We could invent a negotiation between client and server where the client
sends its preferences and the sorting/filtering is done server-side.
However, this feels complex. We can avoid complicating the wire protocol
and exposing ourselves to backwards compatible concerns by performing
the sorting locally.
This patch defines a new config option for expressing preferred
attributes in server-advertised bundles.
At Mozilla, we leverage this feature so clients in fast data centers
prefer uncompressed bundles. (We advertise gzip bundles first because
that is a reasonable default.)
I consider this an advanced feature. I'm on the fence as to whether it
should be documented in `hg help config`.

exchange: extract bundle specification components into own attributes
An upcoming patch will enable clients to prefer certain bundles over
others. The idea is that we define values of attributes from manifests
that are desirable.
The BUNDLESPEC attribute is a complex value consisting of multiple
parts. Clients may wish to only prefer one of these parts. Having to
specify every combination of BUNDLESPEC would be annoying. So, we
extract the components of BUNDLESPEC into their own attributes so
clients can easily filter on a sub-component.

exchange: support preserving external names when parsing bundle specs
This will be needed to make client-side preferences work easier.

clonebundles: filter on SNI requirement
Server Name Indication (SNI) is commonly used in CDNs and other hosted
environments. Unfortunately, Python <2.7.9 does not support SNI and when
these older Python versions attempt to negotiate TLS to an SNI server,
they raise an opaque error like
"_ssl.c:507: error:
14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert
handshake failure."
We introduce a manifest attribute to denote the URL requires SNI and
have clients without SNI support filter these entries.

clonebundles: filter on bundle specification
Not all clients are capable of reading every bundle. Currently, content
negotiation to ensure a server sends a client a compatible bundle
format is performed at request time. The response bundle is dynamically
generated at request time, so this works fine.
Clone bundles are statically generated *before* the request. This means
that a modern server could produce bundles that a legacy client isn't
capable of reading. Without some kind of "type hint" in the clone
bundles manifest, a client may attempt to download an incompatible
bundle. Furthermore, a client may not realize a bundle is incompatible
until it has processed part of the bundle (imagine consuming a 1 GB
changegroup bundle2 part only to discover the bundle2 part afterwards is
incompatibl). This would waste time and resources. And it isn't very
user friendly.
Clone bundle manifests thus need to advertise the *exact* format of the
hosted bundles so clients may filter out entries that they don't know
how to read. This patch introduces that mechanism.
We introduce the BUNDLESPEC attribute to declare the "bundle
specification" of the entry. Bundle specifications are parsed using
exchange.parsebundlespecification, which uses the same strings as the
"--type" argument to `hg bundle`. The supported bundle specifications
are well defined and backwards compatible.
When a client encounters a BUNDLESPEC that is invalid or unsupported, it
silently ignores the entry.

clonebundle: support bundle2
exchange.readbundle() can return 2 different types. We weren't handling
the bundle2 case. Handle it.
At some point we'll likely want a generic API for applying a bundle from
a file handle. For now, create another one-off until we figure out what
the unified bundle API should look like (addressing this is a can of
worms I don't want to open right now).

update: also use 'destupdate' for pull and unbundle
Update can also be performed by 'hg pull --update' and 'hg unbundle'. We use the
destupdate function in these case too.
