copies: add config option for writing copy metadata to file and/or changset This introduces a config option that lets you choose to write copy metadata to the changeset extras instead of to filelog. There's also an option to write it to both places. I imagine that may possibly be useful when transitioning an existing repo. The copy metadata is stored as two fields in extras: one for copies since p1 and one for copies since p2. I may need to add more information later in order to make copy tracing faster. Specifically, I'm thinking out recording which files were added or removed so that copies._chaincopies() doesn't have to look at the manifest for that. But that would just be an optimization and that can be added once we know if it's necessary. I have also considered saving space by using replacing the destination file path by an index into the "files" list, but that can also be changed later (but before the feature is ready to release).

internals: add some brief documentation about censor
 r31280 The censor system allows retroactively removing content from
files. Actually censoring a node requires using the censor extension,
but the functionality for handling censored nodes is partially in core.
Censored nodes in a filelog have the flag ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` set,
and the contents of the censored node are replaced with a censor
tombstone. For historical reasons, the tombstone is packed in the
filelog metadata field ``censored``. This allows censored nodes to be
(mostly) safely transmitted through old formats like changegroup
versions 1 and 2. When using changegroup formats older than 3, the
receiver is required to re-add the ``REVIDX_ISCENSORED`` flag when
storing the revision. This depends on the ``censored`` metadata key
never being used for anything other than censoring revisions, which is
true as of January 2017. Note that the revlog flag is the
authoritative marker of a censored node: the tombstone should only be
consulted when looking for a reason a node was censored or when revlog
flags are unavailable as mentioned above.
The tombstone data is a free-form string. It's expected that users of
censor will want to record the reason for censoring a node in the
tombstone. Censored nodes must be able to fit in the size of the
content being censored.
