setdiscovery: always add exponential sample to the heads...
setdiscovery: always add exponential sample to the heads As explained in a previous changeset, prioritizing heads too much behaves pathologically when there are more heads than the sample size. To counter this, we always inject exponential samples before reducing to the sample size limit. This already show some benefit in the test themselves, but on a real-world example this moves my discovery for push to pathologically headed repo from 45 rounds to 17 of them. We should maybe ensure that at least 25% of the result sample is heads, but I think the random sampling will be fine in practice.

Algorithm works in the following way. You have two repository: local and
remote. They both contains a DAG of changelists.
The goal of the discovery protocol is to find one set of node *common*,
the set of nodes shared by local and remote.
One of the issue with the original protocol was latency, it could
potentially require lots of roundtrips to discover that the local repo was a
subset of remote (which is a very common case, you usually have few changes
compared to upstream, while upstream probably had lots of development).
The new protocol only requires one interface for the remote repo: `known()`,
which given a set of changelists tells you if they are present in the DAG.
The algorithm then works as follow:
- We will be using three sets, `common`, `missing`, `unknown`. Originally
all nodes are in `unknown`.
- Take a sample from `unknown`, call `remote.known(sample)`
- For each node that remote knows, move it and all its ancestors to `common`
- For each node that remote doesn't know, move it and all its descendants
to `missing`
- Iterate until `unknown` is empty
There are a couple optimizations, first is instead of starting with a random
sample of missing, start by sending all heads, in the case where the local
repo is a subset, you computed the answer in one round trip.
Then you can do something similar to the bisecting strategy used when
finding faulty changesets. Instead of random samples, you can try picking
nodes that will maximize the number of nodes that will be
classified with it (since all ancestors or descendants will be marked as well).
