sidedata-exchange: rewrite sidedata on-the-fly whenever possible...
sidedata-exchange: rewrite sidedata on-the-fly whenever possible When a A exchanges with B, the difference of their supported sidedata categories is made, and the responsibility is always with the client to generated it: - If A pushes to B and B requires category `foo` that A does not have, A will need to generate it when sending it to B. - If A pulls from B and A needs category `foo`, it will generate `foo` before the end of the transaction. - Any category that is not required is removed. If peers are not compatible, abort. It is forbidden to rewrite sidedata for a rev that already has sidedata, since that would introduce unreachable (garbage) data in the data file, something we're not prepared for yet.

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.
