wireproto: port heads command to wire protocol v2...
wireproto: port heads command to wire protocol v2 After much thought and consideration, wire protocol version 2's commands will be defined in different functions from the existing commands. This will make it easier to implement these commands because it won't require shoehorning things like response formatting and argument declaration into the same APIs. For example, wire protocol version 1 requires that commands declare a fixed and ordered list of argument names. It isn't really possible to insert new arguments or have optional arguments without breaking backwards compatibility. Wire protocol version 2, however, uses CBOR maps for passing arguments. So arguments a) can be optional b) can be added without BC c) can be strongly typed. This commit starts our trek towards reimplementing the wire protocol for version 2 with the heads command. It is pretty similar to the existing heads command. One added feature is it can be told to operate on only public phase changesets. This is useful for making discovery faster when a repo has tens of thousands of draft phase heads (such as Mozilla's "try" repository). The HTTPv2 server-side protocol has had its `getargs()` implementation updated to reflect that arguments are a map and not a list. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3179

Some Mercurial commands can produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will
attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant.
To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable::
[pager]
pager = less -FRX
If no pager is set in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the
environment variable $PAGER. If $PAGER is not set, pager.pager from the default
or system configuration is used. If none of these are set, a default pager will
be used, typically `less` on Unix and `more` on Windows.
.. container:: windows
On Windows, `more` is not color aware, so using it effectively disables color.
MSYS and Cygwin shells provide `less` as a pager, which can be configured to
support ANSI color codes. See :hg:`help config.color.pagermode` to configure
the color mode when invoking a pager.
You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list::
[pager]
ignore = version, help, update
To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
to specify them in your user configuration file.
To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command,
you can use --pager=<value>:
- use as needed: `auto`.
- require the pager: `yes` or `on`.
- suppress the pager: `no` or `off` (any unrecognized value
will also work).
To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set::
[ui]
paginate = never
which will prevent the pager from running.
