The wirepeer class provides concrete implementations of peer interface
methods for calling wire protocol commands. It makes sense for this
class to inherit from the peer abstract base class. So we change
that.
Since httppeer and sshpeer have already been converted to the new
interface, peerrepository is no longer adding any value. So it has
been removed. httppeer and sshpeer have been updated to reflect the
loss of peerrepository and the inheritance of the abstract base
class in wirepeer.
The code changes in wirepeer are reordering of methods to group
by interface.
Some Python code in tests was updated to reflect changed APIs.
.. api::
peer.peerrepository has been removed. Use repository.peer abstract
base class to represent a peer repository.

This change separates peer implementations from the repository implementation.
localpeer currently is a simple pass-through to localrepository, except for
legacy calls, which have already been removed from localpeer. This ensures that
the local client code only uses the most modern peer API when talking to local
repos.
Peers have a .local() method which returns either None or the underlying
localrepository (or descendant thereof). Repos have a .peer() method to return
a freshly constructed localpeer. The latter is used by hg.peer(), and also to
allow folks to pass either a peer or a repo to some generic helper methods.
We might want to get rid of .peer() eventually.
The only user of locallegacypeer is debugdiscovery, which uses it to pose as a
pre-setdiscovery client. But we decided to leave the old API defined in
locallegacypeer for clarity and maybe for other uses in the future.
It might be nice to actually define the peer API directly in peer.py as stub
methods. One problem there is, however, that localpeer implements
lock/addchangegroup, whereas the true remote peers implement unbundle.
It might be desireable to get rid of this distinction eventually.
This can be used to test that the client and server both fall back to the
previous wire protocol when the capability is not supported.
It is currently used by test-push-http.t and I plan to use it for the HTTP
long argument support tests.
