[RFC] Bundle format 1.0a is nearly feature-complete

Hi all,

I believe I've got the bundle format to a feature-complete state.

It has a human-readable overview, and a base64-encoded, bzipped
machine-readable section.  The machine-readable section contains a
testament, inventory deltas, file deltas, revision fulltexts and
signature fulltexts

The attached egbundle.patch is an example bundle-- the sort of thing we
would mail to the list.

The egbundle.txt attachment is the output of "bzr bundle-info -v".  It
includes statistics and the decoded machine-readable contents.  It will
not typically be seen.

In the decoded section, lines beginning with "B$NUMBER" are typically
the beginnings of records.  Lines with "i $NUMBER" are the beginnings of
multi-parent-diff insertion hunks, and lines beginning with "c $NUMBER1
$NUMBER2 $NUMBER3 $NUMBER4" indicate text that is common with a parent.

There's more work to do in terms of validation, correctness and
performance, but I think the format is close to finished.

What do you think?

Aaron
