[MERGE][1.6.1][bug #262333] New repo format for rich roots with a proper serializer

Aaron uncovered that --1.6-rich-root was actually a bit confused as to whether
it was trying to be --1.6-subtree or not. It seems the serializer supported
subtrees, but the layering did not. So you couldn't directly stack on a
- --rich-root-pack repository, and you might accidentally fetch from a
- --dirstate-with-subtree one.

So this patch deprecates the --1.6-rich-root format, in favor of
- --1.6.1-rich-root.

I'm not 100% sure about the naming. I could name it --1.6-rich-root and
- --1.6-old-rich-root. (or --1.6-rich-root-broken).

I'd like to get some form of this into 1.6.1, so it would be nice to get feedback.

John
