httppeer: wrap HTTPResponse.read() globally...
httppeer: wrap HTTPResponse.read() globally There were a handful of places in the code where HTTPResponse.read() was called with no explicit error handling or with inconsistent error handling. In order to eliminate this class of bug, we globally swap out HTTPResponse.read() with a unified error handler. I initially attempted to fix all call sites. However, after going down that rabbit hole, I figured it was best to just change read() to do what we want. This appears to be a worthwhile change, as the tests demonstrate many of our uncaught exceptions go away. To better represent this class of failure, we introduce a new error type. The main benefit over IOError is it can hold a hint. I'm receptive to tweaking its name or inheritance.

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.
