compression: introduce an official `zstd-revlog` requirement This requirement supersedes `exp-compression-zstd`. However, we keep support for the old requirement. Strictly speaking, we do not need to add a new requirement, there are no logic change making "new" repo incompatible with mercurial client using a version that support `exp-compression-zstd`. The choice to introduce a new requirement is motivated by the following: * The previous requirement was explicitly "experimental". Using it by default could confuse users. * adding support for a hypothetical third compression engine will requires new code, and will comes with its own requirement tool. * We won't use it as the default for a while since I do not think we support zstd on all platform. I can imagine we'll gain another (unrelated but on my default) requirement by the time we turn this zstd by default.

Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
implement hooks.
To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
like this::
[extensions]
foo =
You may also specify the full path to an extension::
[extensions]
myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
See :hg:`help config` for more information on configuration files.
Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
needed.
To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
broader scope, prepend its path with !::
[extensions]
# disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
# ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
baz = !
