util: create new abstraction for compression engines Currently, util.py has "compressors" and "decompressors" dicts mapping compression algorithms to callables returning objects that perform well-defined operations. In addition, revlog.py has code for calling into a compressor or decompressor explicitly. And, there is code in the wire protocol for performing zlib compression. The 3rd party lz4revlog extension has demonstrated the utility of supporting alternative compression formats for revlog storage. But it stops short of supporting lz4 for bundles and the wire protocol. There are also plans to support zstd as a general compression replacement. So, there appears to be a market for a unified API for registering compression engines. This commit starts the process of establishing one. This commit establishes a base class/interface for defining compression engines and how they will be used. A collection class to hold references to registered compression engines has also been introduced. The built-in zlib, bz2, truncated bz2, and no-op compression engines are registered with a singleton instance of the collection class. The compression engine API will change once consumers are ported to the new API and some common patterns can be simplified at the engine API level. So don't get too attached to the API...

config: mark parser regexes as bytes explicitly r-strings are not transformed into bytes by our source transformer magic.

ui: explicitly open config files in binary mode This has been working mostly accidentally, but now it works explicitly.

help: fix double word usage "most" was used twice. (I fixed a grammar error before timeless spotted it!)

setup: move cffi stuff to mercurial/cffi This patch moves all setup*cffi stuff to mercurial/cffi to make the root directory cleaner. The idea was from mpm [1]: > It seems like we could have a fair amount of cffi definitions, and > cluttering the root directory (or mercurial/) with them is probably not > a great long-term solution. We could probably add a cffi/ directory > under mercurial/ to parallel pure/. [1]: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial-devel/2016-July/086442.html

manifest: remove manifest.add and add memmfctx.write This removes one more dependency on the manifest class by moving the write functionality onto the memmanifestctx classes and changing the one consumer to use the new API. By moving the write path to a manifestctx, we now give the individual manifests control over how they're read and serialized. This will be useful in developing new manifest formats and storage systems.

context: add manifestctx property on changectx This allows us to access the manifestctx for a given commit. This will be used in a later patch to be able to copy the manifestctx when we want to make a new commit.

manifest: add copy to mfctx classes This adds copy functionality to the manifestctx classes. This will be used in an upcoming diff to copy a manifestctx during commit so we can modify the manifest before committing.

manifest: introduce memmanifestctx and memtreemanifestctx This introduces two new classes to represent in-memory manifest instances. Similar to memchangectx, this lets us prepare a manifest in memory, then in a future patch we will add the apis that can commit this in memory structure.
