Post review requests with history when supported

Review Request #9911 — Created May 4, 2018 and submitted

Information

Reviewers

When the Review Board server has the review_request.supports_history
capability, we will default to posting with history. Using history can
be forced with the new -H/--with-history flag, which will cause an
error if the server does not support it.

Traditional-style squashed review requests are still supported: they can
be posted with -S/--squash-history.

Review requests that were created with history will always be updated
with history and review requests not created with history will,
likewise, never be updated with history. Since review requests in
Review Board exist in one state or the other, attempting to post would
result in an error, so we do not let users attempt such posts.

If the server does not support history, the -S and -H options are
ignored.

    These would be nice to implement though. In fact, having history enabled by default and not allowing filtering is going to break a whole lot of people. Is this a temporary restriction? What prevents us from being able to filter these?

    1. Imagine a history A -> B -> C:

      A: adds foo
      B: renames foo to bar
      C: modifies bar

      If we attempt to post A^..C with -X foo, then the patch for C will fail to apply.

    We're repeating tests unnecessarily. How about:

    if server_supports_history:
        if review_request:
            with_history = review_request.created_with_history
    
            if self.options.with_history:
                ...
        else:
            with_history = self._should_post_with_history(...)
    else:
        with_history = False
    

    it's not as flat, so.. I dunno, tradeoffs. Throwing it out there.

    1. The only test we are repeating is just a boolean. It isn't really wasted computational power.

    You can do:

        ...
    ] + additional_fields
    
    1. Not if additional_fields is a tuple or any sort of non-list iterable.

    2. Then += would be better.
