clfilter: add actual repo filtering mechanism

We add a `filtered` method on repo. This method return an instance of `repoview`
that behaves exactly as the original repository but with a filtered changelog
attribute. Filters are identified by a "name". Planned filter are `unserved`,
`hidden` and `mutable`. Filtering the repository in place what out of question
as it wont not allows multiple thread to share the same repo. It would makes
control of the filtering scope harder too. See the `repoview` docstring for
details.

A mechanism to compute filtered revision is also installed. Some caches will be
installed in later commit.

+
+    This object is used to access a filtered version of a repository without
+    altering the original repository object itself. We can not alter the
+    original object for two main reasons:
+    - It prevents the use of a repo with multiple filters at the same time. In
+      particular when multiple threads are involved.
+    - It makes scope of the filtering harder to control.
+
+    This object behaves very closely to the original repository. All attribute
+    operations are done on the original repository:
+    - An access to `repoview.someattr` actually returns `repo.someattr`,
+    - A write to `repoview.someattr` actually sets value of `repo.someattr`,
+    - A deletion of `repoview.someattr` actually drops `someattr`
+      from `repo.__dict__`.
+
+    The only exception is the `changelog` property. It is overridden to return
+    a (surface) copy of `repo.changelog` with some revisions filtered. The
+    `filtername` attribute of the view control the revisions that need to be
+    filtered.  (the fact the changelog is copied is an implementation detail).
+
+    Unlike attributes, this object intercepts all method calls. This means that
+    all methods are run on the `repoview` object with the filtered `changelog`
+    property. For this purpose the simple `repoview` class must be mixed with
+    the actual class of the repository. This ensures that the resulting
+    `repoview` object have the very same methods than the repo object. This
+    leads to the property below.
+
+        repoview.method() --> repo.__class__.method(repoview)
+
+    The inheritance has to be done dynamically because `repo` can be of any
+    subclasses of `localrepo`. Eg: `bundlerepo` or `httprepo`.
