state: write the version number in plain text on top of state files We will soon be using CBOR format to write the data in state files. But we should not write the version number of the state files in CBOR format and we should rather write it in plain text because in future we can change the format of state files and we should be able to parse the version number of state file without requiring to understand a certain format. This will help us in making sure we have a good compatibility story with other versions of state files. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3579

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).
