largefiles: register wire protocol commands with modern APIs
The wireproto.wireprotocommand decorator is the preferred mechanism for
registering wire protocol commands. In addition, wireproto.commands
is no longer a 2-tuple and use of that 2-tuple API should be considered
deprecated.
This commit ports largefiles to use wireproto.wireprotocommand()
and ports to the "commandentry" API.
As part of this, the definition of the "lheads" wire protocol
command is moved to the proper stanza.
We stop short of actually using wireprotocommand as a decorator
in order to minimize churn. We should ideally move wire protocol
commands to the registrar mechanism. But that's for another
changeset.

wireproto: function for testing if wire protocol command is available
Currently, we perform simple membership testing for whether a wire
command is available. In the future, not all wire protocol commands
will be available on all transports. For example, a legacy transport
may not support newer commands.
In preparation of this, teach the protocol handlers to call into a
function to determine if a wire protocol command is available. That
function currently does membership testing like before, so behavior
should be identical.
In the case of the HTTP server, behavior is a bit wonkier. "cmd" is
used by both the wire protocol and hgweb. We do want the protocol
handler to handle requests for all commands that look like wire
protocol commands, even if they aren't available. Otherwise, the
fallback to hgweb would only confuse automated clients and make it
easier for hgweb to accidentally implement a "cmd" that is identical
to wire protocol commands (since they aren't centrally registered).

wireproto: define and use types for wire protocol commands
Wire protocol commands have historically been declared as
2-tuples in wireproto.commands. There are some additional features I'd
like to implement that require going beyond 2-tuples. But because
the 2-tuple API (both destructuring assignment and direct assignment
into the dict) is used throughout the code base and in 3rd party
extensions, we can't do a trivial type change.
This commit creates a new "commandentry" type to represent declared
wire protocol commands. It implements __getitem__ and __iter__ so
it can quack like a 2-tuple. The @wireprotocommand decorator now
creates "commandentry" instances.
We also create a "commanddict" type to represent the dictionary of
declared wire protocol commands. It inherits from "dict" but provides
a custom __setitem__ to coerce passed 2-tuples to "commandentry"
instances. wireproto.commands is now an instance of this type.
Various callers in core rely on the new functionality. And tests
pass. So I'm reasonably confident things will "just work" in 3rd
party extensions as well.

wireproto: improve docstring for @wireprotocommand
I'm about to add more arguments and want them to be documented.
Plus, good documentation is nice to have.

wireproto: remove unnecessary exception trapping
The `try..except error.Abort` was added in
8474be4412ca back in
2012. The intent was to ensure a failing pushkey hook didn't crash
the server.
Since that changeset, repo.pushkey() and the hooks mechanism is
now much more robust about trapping errors itself. As such, we no
longer need this try..except block. So it has been removed.

sshpeer: implement peer for version 2 of wire protocol
Since the protocol is now negotiated before we construct a
peer instance, we can return the negotiated protocol from the
handshake function and instantiate an appropriate peer class
for the protocol.
Version 2 of the SSH protocol is currently identical to version
1 post handshake. So our sshv2peer class just inherits from
sshv1peer for the time being. This will obviously change
over time.

sshpeer: rename sshpeer class to sshv1peer (API)
With the introduction of version 2 of the SSH wire protocol,
we will need a new peer class to speak that protocol because
it will be too difficult to shoehorn a single class to speak
two protocols. We rename sshpeer.sshpeer to sshpeer.sshv1peer
to reflect the fact that there will be multiple versions of
the peer depending on the negotiated protocol.
.. api::
sshpeer.sshpeer renamed to sshpeer.sshv1peer.

sshpeer: initial definition and implementation of new SSH protocol
The existing SSH protocol has several design flaws. Future commits
will elaborate on these flaws as new features are introduced
to combat these flaws. For now, hopefully you can take me for my
word that a ground up rewrite of the SSH protocol is needed.
This commit lays the foundation for a new SSH protocol by defining
a mechanism to upgrade the SSH transport channel away from the
default (version 1) protocol to something modern (which we'll call
"version 2" for now).
This upgrade process is detailed in the internals documentation
for the wire protocol. The gist of it is the client sends a
request line preceding the "hello" command/line which basically
says "I'm requesting an upgrade: here's what I support." If the
server recognizes that line, it processes the upgrade request and
the transport channel is switched to use the new version of the
protocol. If not, it sends an empty response, which is how all
Mercurial SSH servers from the beginning of time reacted to unknown
commands. The upgrade request is effectively ignored and the client
continues to use the existing version of the protocol as if nothing
happened.
The new version of the SSH protocol is completely identical to
version 1 aside from the upgrade dance and the bytes that follow.
The immediate bytes that follow the protocol switch are defined to
be a length framed "capabilities: " line containing the remote's
advertised capabilities. In reality, this looks very similar to
what the "hello" response would look like. But it will evolve
quickly.
The methodology by which the protocol will evolve is important.
I'm not going to introduce the new protocol all at once. That would
likely lead to endless bike shedding and forward progress would
stall. Instead, I intend to tricle out new features and diversions
from the existing protocol in small, incremental changes.
To support the gradual evolution of the protocol, the on-the-wire
advertised protocol name contains an "exp" to denote "experimental"
and a 4 digit field to capture the sub-version of the protocol.
Whenever we make a BC change to the wire protocol, we can increment
this version and lock out all older clients because it will appear
as a completely different protocol version. This means we can incur
as many breaking changes as we want. We don't have to commit to
supporting any one feature or idea for a long period of time. We
can even evolve the handshake mechanism, because that is defined
as being an implementation detail of the negotiated protocol version!
Hopefully this lowers the barrier to accepting changes to the
protocol and for experimenting with "radical" ideas during its
development.
In core, sshpeer received most of the attention. We haven't even
implemented the server bits for the new protocol in core yet.
Instead, we add very primitive support to our test server, mainly
just to exercise the added code paths in sshpeer.

internals: refactor wire protocol documentation
Upcoming work will introduce a new version of the HTTP and SSH
transports. The differences will be significant enough to consider
them new transports. So, we now attach a version number to each
transport.
In addition, having the handshake documented after the transport
and in a single shared section made it harder to follow the flow
of the connection. The handshake documentation is now moved to the
protocol section it describes. We now have a generic section about
the purpose of the handshake, which was rewritten significantly.

revlog: rename 'self.checkinlinesize' into '_enforceinlinesize'
The name change has two motivations:
1) The function has no external caller, so we move it to protected space.
2) the function does more than checking it also split the data if we have more
data than 'inline' supports.
