Censor response bodies from Mercurial error messages

Description

Censor response bodies from Mercurial error messages

Summary:
Ref T6755. In Git and Subversion, running git clone http://google.com/ or svn checkout http://google.com/ does not echo the response body.

In Mercurial, it does. Censor it from the output of hg pull and hg clone. This prevents an attacker from:

  • Creating a Mercurial remote repository with URI http://10.0.0.1/secrets/; and
  • reading the secrets out of the error message after the clone fails.

Test Plan: Set a Mercurial remote URI to a non-Mercurial repository, ran repository update, saw censored error message.
