wireprotov2: define semantics for content redirects
When I implemented the clonebundles feature and deployed it on
hg.mozilla.org using Amazon S3 as a content server, server-side CPU
and bandwidth usage dropped off a cliff and a ton of server scaling
headaches went away pretty much the instant clients with support for
clonebundles were rolled out to Firefox CI.
An obvious takeaway from that experience was that offloading server
load to scalable file servers - potentially backed by a CDN - is a
really good idea. Another takeaway was that Mercurial's wire protocol
wasn't in a good position to support data offload generally.
In wire protocol version 1, there isn't a mechanism in the protocol to
say "grab the data from over here instead." For HTTP, we could teach
the client to follow HTTP redirects. Or we could invent a media type
that encoded redirects inline. But for SSH, we were pretty much out of
luck because that protocol wasn't very flexible.
Wire protocol version 2 offers the opportunity to do something better.
The recent generic server-side content caching layer in the wire
protocol version 2 server demonstrated that it is possible to have
drop-in caching of responses to command requests. This by itself
adds tons of value and already makes the built-in server much more
scalable. But I don't want to stop there.
The existing server-side caching implementation has a big weakness:
it requires the server to send data to the client. This means that
the Mercurial server is potentially sending gigabytes of data to
thousands of clients. This is problematic because compared to scaling
static file servers, scaling dynamic servers is *hard*.
A solution to this is to "offload" serving of content to something
that isn't the Mercurial server. By offloading content serving, you
turn the Mercurial server from a centralized monolithic service to
a distributed mostly-indexing service. Assuming high rates of content
offload, this should drastically reduce the total work performed by
the Mercurial server, both in terms of CPU and data transfer. This
will make Mercurial servers vastly easier to scale.
This commit defines the semantics for "content redirects" in wire
protocol version 2. Essentially:
* Servers advertise the set of locations a response could be served
from.
* When making requests, clients advertise the set of locations they
are willing to fetch content from.
* Servers can then replace the inline response with one that says
"get the response from over here instead."
This feature - when fully implemented - will allow extending the
server-side caching layer to facilitate such things as integrating
your server-side cache with a scalable blob store (such as S3 or
a CDN) and offloading most data transfer to that external service.
This feature could also be leveraged for load balancing. e.g.
requests could come into a central server and then get redirected
to an available mirror depending on server availability or locality.
There's tons of potential :)

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.
