thirdparty: vendor cbor2 python library...
thirdparty: vendor cbor2 python library CBOR stands for Concise Binary Object Representation, which is a data format which is very compact and extensible. This patch moves the python library which can serilaize and deserialize python objects to/from cbor formats. The library is taken from https://github.com/agronholm/cbor2/ from commit 84181540f6eb650437e3f73cd104a65661fe8e67. Unrequired files from the cbor library - docs/, tests/, setup.py, setup.cfg, and tox.ini - have not been vendored. There is another python library for cbor at https://github.com/brianolson/cbor_py/ which is used in evolve extension and was imported in initial version of this series. That library though contains C code and is bit faster, but has known bugs around serializing nested structures, is unmaintained, raises an Exception object instead of a more dedicated Error type. So, it's better to use a bug free and actively maintained library. This library is not yet used and will be used in later commits. # no-check-commit because we are importing a third library module Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2750

Build Status Code Coverage

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 7049) serialization format.

There exists another Python CBOR implementation (cbor) which is faster on CPython due to its C extensions. On PyPy, cbor2 and cbor are almost identical in performance. The other implementation also lacks documentation and a comprehensive test suite, does not support most standard extension tags and is known to crash (segfault) when passed a cyclic structure (say, a list containing itself).
