We're about to deploy this to release automation. We might as well have
normal people start using it as well. We could perhaps even have the
extension print out information on how to resume interrupted downloads
someday, so it will pay to have this enabled so they can utilize that
feature some day in the future.

We dropped support for Mercurial 3.0 in version-control-tools. Bump
minimum versions in extensions to reflect this.
We highly recommend people run a modern Mercurial. Bump the minimum
non-legacy version to reflect that.
Currently we only mark the version-control-tools repo as needing updating, if
we did not pass a path param to prompt_external_extension(). This is because if
no path is passed, the extension is used from the version-control-tools repo,
and so if _no_ path is passed, it's presumed the extension is external to the
repo. However this is not always the case - eg if we need to specify a specific
file for an extension (vs the entire directory), we have to do so be passing in
the path. We hit this case for reviewboard.
With this change, we always mark the version-control-tools repo as needing an
update, no matter where the extension was located.
mqext was moved into the version-control-tools repo some time ago, but mach
mercurial-setup was still pointing at the old repo location, which is no longer
being updated.
This is needed for compatibility with an upcoming release of
MozillaBuild, which distributes Mercurial as a Python package, not as a
standalone Windows program. As a result, it introduces "hg" into $PATH,
which "which" will happily prefer as the "hg" binary. This upsets
subprocess. So, we explicitly prefer "hg.exe" over "hg".
We could accomplish the same thing by calling which.whichall() and
sorting results. But this is more code and IMO not worth the effort to
implement.
bzpost is an efficiency win for everyone.
firefox tree is mostly useful for people doing head/bookmark-based
development.
Both extensions can yield massive productivity wins. They should be
advertised.

We want to make it turnkey for people to use reviewboard. So, we add
reviewboard and related functionality to |mach mercurial-setup|.
Since the reviewboard extension only works in Mercurial 3.0 and newer,
we add some version detection for the Mercurial version. This should
have been done months ago. We now have it.
I also took the opportunity to inform |mach bootstrap| that Mercurial
2.x is no longer modern.
I also updated the messaging around mq to encourage fewer new users to
use it. You may find this controversial. People can always ignore the
message.
Finally, I also added a histedit prompt to the mix, since a lot of
people don't know about that and many find it useful.
I could have broken this into multiple patches. Meh.
qimportbz is now pulled from its new canonical home. The old location can
be cleaned if the user agrees to it. The new location is updated in the
hgrc.
