sidedata-exchange: rewrite sidedata on-the-fly whenever possible

Details

Summary

When a A exchanges with B, the difference of their supported sidedata categories
is made, and the responsibility is always with the client to generated it:

  • If A pushes to B and B requires category foo that A does not have, A will need to generate it when sending it to B.
  • If A pulls from B and A needs category foo, it will generate foo before the end of the transaction.
  • Any category that is not required is removed. If peers are not compatible, abort.

It is forbidden to rewrite sidedata for a rev that already has sidedata, since
that would introduce unreachable (garbage) data in the data file, something
we're not prepared for yet.

Looks okay.

264–266

small nit: use an intermediate variable to avoid the spread on 5 lines.

374–379

The TODO comment should be duplicated near the declaration of the experimental config since we need this fixed before getting it out of experimental.
