wireprotov2: allow multiple fields to follow revision maps The *data wire protocol commands emit a series of CBOR values. Because revision/delta data may be large, their data is emitted outside the map as a top-level bytestring value. Before this commit, we'd emit a single optional bytestring value after the revision descriptor map. This got the job done. But it was limiting in that we could only send a single field. And, it required the consumer to know that the presence of a key in the map implied the existence of a following bytestring value. This commit changes the encoding strategy so top-level bytestring values in the stream are explicitly denoted in a "fieldsfollowing" key. This key contains an array defining what fields that follow and the expected size of each field. By defining things this way, we can easily send N bytestring values without any ambiguity about their order. In addition, clients only need to know how to parse ``fieldsfollowing`` to know if extra values are present. Because this breaks backwards compatibility, we've bumped the version number of the wire protocol version 2 API endpoint. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4620

WiX installer source files
==========================

The files in this folder are used by the thg-winbuild [1] package
building architecture to create a Mercurial MSI installer. These files
are versioned within the Mercurial source tree because the WXS files
must kept up to date with distribution changes within their branch. In
other words, the default branch WXS files are expected to diverge from
the stable branch WXS files. Storing them within the same repository is
the only sane way to keep the source tree and the installer in sync.

The MSI installer builder uses only the mercurial.ini file from the
contrib/win32 folder, the contents of which have been historically used
to create an InnoSetup based installer. The rest of the files there are
ignored.

The MSI packages built by thg-winbuild require elevated (admin)
privileges to be installed due to the installation of MSVC CRT libraries
under the C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS folder. Thus the InnoSetup installers may
still be useful to some users.

To build your own MSI packages, clone the thg-winbuild [1] repository
and follow the README.txt [2] instructions closely. There are fewer
prerequisites for a WiX [3] installer than an InnoSetup installer, but
they are more specific.
