phases: large rewrite on retract boundary...
phases: large rewrite on retract boundary The new code is still pure Python, so we still have room to going significantly faster. However its complexity of the complex part is `O(|[min_new_draft, tip]|)` instead of `O(|[min_draft, tip]|` which should help tremendously one repository with old draft (like mercurial-devel or mozilla-try). This is especially useful as the most common "retract boundary" operation happens when we commit/rewrite new drafts or when we push new draft to a non-publishing server. In this case, the smallest new_revs is very close to the tip and there is very few work to do. A few smaller optimisation could be done for these cases and will be introduced in later changesets. We still have iterate over large sets of roots, but this is already a great improvement for a very small amount of work. We gather information on the affected changeset as we go as we can put it to use in the next changesets. This extra data collection might slowdown the `register_new` case a bit, however for register_new, it should not really matters. The set of new nodes is either small, so the impact is negligible, or the set of new nodes is large, and the amount of work to do to had them will dominate the overhead the collecting information in `changed_revs`. As this new code compute the changes on the fly, it unlock other interesting improvement to be done in later changeset.

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.
