[PATCH v3 04/11] bundle-uri: parse bundle.heuristic=creationToken

From

Message-ID
<49bf10e0fd4468720cd86cc47e425bf446a1a4f7.1675171759.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1454.v3.git.1675171759.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The bundle.heuristic value communicates that the bundle list is organized to make use of the bundle.<id>.creationToken values that may be provided in the bundle list. Those values will create a total order on the bundles, allowing the Git client to download them in a specific order and even remember previously-downloaded bundles by storing the maximum creation token value.

Before implementing any logic that parses or uses the bundle.<id>.creationToken values, teach Git to parse the bundle.heuristic value from a bundle list. We can use 'test-tool bundle-uri' to print the heuristic value and verify that the parsing works correctly.

As an extra precaution, create the internal 'heuristics' array to be a list of (enum, string) pairs so we can iterate through the array entries carefully, regardless of the enum values.
