REVISION SUMMARY
  Currently, we perform simple membership testing for whether a wire
  command is available. In the future, not all wire protocol commands
  will be available on all transports. For example, a legacy transport
  may not support newer commands.
  
  In preparation of this, teach the protocol handlers to call into a
  function to determine if a wire protocol command is available. That
  function currently does membership testing like before, so behavior
  should be identical.
  
  In the case of the HTTP server, behavior is a bit wonkier. "cmd" is
  used by both the wire protocol and hgweb. We do want the protocol
  handler to handle requests for all commands that look like wire
  protocol commands, even if they aren't available. Otherwise, the
  fallback to hgweb would only confuse automated clients and make it
  easier for hgweb to accidentally implement a "cmd" that is identical
  to wire protocol commands (since they aren't centrally registered).
