hgweb: add support to explicitly access hidden changesets This changeset adds a "global" `access-hidden` argument to hgweb. This argument lift the "hidden" filtering. This means the request has access to hidden (eg: obsolete) changesets. Secret changesets remains filtered. This feature has multiple applications. The first main use case is to allow the hgweb interface to display more obsolescence related data, such as the Anton Shestakov work to add `obslog` support to hgweb. The second foreseen usecase is support for a `--remote-hidden` argument to `hg pull` and `hg clone`. This flag will make it possible to retrieve hidden (typically obsolete) changeset under some conditions. This is useful when digging up obsolescence history or when doing full mirroring. More on this feature coming in later changesets. To avoid exposing information by mistake, access to this feature is currently controlled with the `experimental.server.allow-hidden-access` config option. The option works the same way as `web.allow-push`. The current default is to not allow any hidden access. However we might change it before the feature stop being experimental.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
