New Evolve extension release: version 7.0.0

We just pushed a release for Evolve: 7.0.0.

As usual, the release is available on pypi and upgrade is recommended.

This release does not bring new features to evolve but drop compatibility for older Mercurial versions (4.0 and below) and drop multiple old and deprecated protocols. This allowed us to clean up the code and should help the situation where Evolve is selectively turned on only some repository server side.

On the other hand, Topic got multiple new workflow related options to experiments with.
