compression: introduce an official `format.revlog-compression` option
This option supersedes the `experiment.format.compression` option. The value
currently supported are zlib (default) and zstd (if Mercurial was compiled with
zstd support).
The option gained an explicit reference to `revlog` since this is the target
usage here. Different storage methods might require different compression
strategies.
In our tests, using zstd give a significant CPU usage improvement (both
compression and decompressing) while keeping similar repository size.
Zstd as other interresting mode (dictionnary, pre-text, etc…) that are probably
worth exploring. However, just plain switching from zlib to zstd provide a large
benefit.
