wireprotov2: let clients drive delta behavior Previously, the "manifestdata" and "filedata" commands assumed the receiver had all parent revisions for requested nodes. Unless the revision had no parents, they emitted a delta instead of a fulltext. This strategy isn't appropriate for shallow clones and for clients that only want to access fulltext revision data for a single node without fetching their parent revisions. This commit adds an "haveparents" argument to the "manifestdata" and "filedata" commands that controls delta generation behavior. Unless "haveparents" is set, the server assumes that the client doesn't have parent revisions unless they were previously sent as part of the current group of revisions. This change allows the fulltext revision data of any individual revision to be obtained. This will facilitate shallow clones and other data retrieval strategies that don't require all previous revisions of an entity to be fetched.

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.
