hidden: add support to explicitly access hidden changesets via HTTP

We now detect hidden access request and validate them while handling http
wireprotocol command. This changeset only introduces server support. See next
changeset for client side code.

The mechanism we use for http wireprotocol is the same as the one used to lift
filtering for hgweb. For an initial implementation, the use of the global
`access-hidden` parameter in http url is simple and effective approach that:

* work around the lack of global parameters in protocol v1,
* reuse the mechanism in place for hgweb (that do not use the wireproto),
* can be safely ignored by older client (fitting the best effort contract).

This the feature is still experimental, we can easily update the implementation
details in the future. However, landing a first implementation now with it full
test harness will help test the feature in the wild and iterate on alternative
implementations is deemed necessary.
