namespaces: introduce a generic way to map between names and nodes
This patch begins the work to provide a way to register a namespace to handle
'names'. Benefits of this would be,
- improved templating: This would provide {name} which could output any branch,
bookmark, tag, or any extension registered namespace all without having the
extension doing any extra work
- improved tab completion: Since this provides a single source of all 'names',
tab completion would not need to know of each namespace
- changeset lookup: Similar to before, a unified place to get all 'names' will
allow finding changesets without any extension code having to reimplement
this
Also,
d226fe36e362 has shown us that for internal code which expects a certain
type of method or behavior, we should provide an easy way for extensions to
check this behavior.
