    commands: rename clone --uncompressed to --stream and document · fffd3369aa83
    Gregory Szorc authored
    --uncompressed isn't a very good name and its description in the
    help documentation isn't very useful. We refer to this concept as
    "stream clones" in a number of places. I think it makes sense to
    change the user-facing argument to use the mode --stream. So this
    commit does that.
    
    We keep --uncompressed around for backwards compatibility.
    
    While we're here, we overhaul the help docs for streaming clones
    to be somewhat useful.
    
    All tests have been updated to reflect the new preferred --stream
    argument. A test for backwards compatibility of --uncompressed has
    been added.
    
    .. bc::
    
       `hg clone --stream` should now be used instead of --uncompressed.
    
       --uncompressed is marked as deprecated and is an alias for --stream.
       There is no schedule for elimination of --uncompressed.
