Assume the left mainline is available in the remote repo and the other
commits are only in the local repo. Also imagine that instead of 3
local branches with 3 commits on each, there are 1000 branches (the
number of commits on each doesn't matter much here). In such a
scenario, the current setdiscovery code will pick a sample size of 200
among these branches and ask the remote which of them it has. However,
the discovery for each such branch is completely independent of the
discovery for the others -- knowing whether the remote has a commit in
one branch doesn't give us any information about the other
branches. The discovery will therefore take at least 5 roundtrips
(maybe more depending on which commit in each linear chain was
sampled). Since the discovery for each branch is independent, there is
no reason to let one branch wait for another, so this patch makes it
so we sample at least as many commits as there are branches. It may
still happen (it's very likely, even) that we get multiple samples
from one branch and none from another, but that will even out over a
few rounds and I think this is still a big improvement.

Because of http header size limits, we still use the old behavior
unless experimental.httppostargs=true.

I've timed this by running `hg debugdiscovery mozilla-unified --debug` in the
mozilla-try repo. Both repos were local. Before this patch, last part
of the output was:

 """
 Algorithm works in the following way. You have two repository: local and
 remote. They both contains a DAG of changelists.
 
 The goal of the discovery protocol is to find one set of node *common*,
 the set of nodes shared by local and remote.
 
 One of the issue with the original protocol was latency, it could
 potentially require lots of roundtrips to discover that the local repo was a
 subset of remote (which is a very common case, you usually have few changes
 compared to upstream, while upstream probably had lots of development).
 
 The new protocol only requires one interface for the remote repo: `known()`,
 which given a set of changelists tells you if they are present in the DAG.
 
 The algorithm then works as follow:
 
  - We will be using three sets, `common`, `missing`, `unknown`. Originally
  all nodes are in `unknown`.
  - Take a sample from `unknown`, call `remote.known(sample)`
    - For each node that remote knows, move it and all its ancestors to `common`
    - For each node that remote doesn't know, move it and all its descendants
    to `missing`
  - Iterate until `unknown` is empty
 
 There are a couple optimizations, first is instead of starting with a random
 sample of missing, start by sending all heads, in the case where the local
 repo is a subset, you computed the answer in one round trip.
 
 Then you can do something similar to the bisecting strategy used when
 finding faulty changesets. Instead of random samples, you can try picking
 nodes that will maximize the number of nodes that will be
 classified with it (since all ancestors or descendants will be marked as well).
