[rfc] bzr-colo into core

Fundamental to my conception is that

1) it's not a 'colo repo', it's a 'colo thing'.  Considering it as a
   type of branch or repo messes everything up, and

2) you no longer create "standalone"[0] branches, you only create
   colo- thing's.  But a colo-thing with only one branch in it is
   functionally interchangeable with a current-day "standalone"
   branch.



[0] Not to be read as the current bzr term-of-art 'standalone branch'
    for branch-with-internal-repo, just as "MetaDir1 with a branch".
