repoview: issue a special message when filtering hidden changesets
Hidden changesets are by far the most common error case and is the only one[1]
that can reach the user. We move to a friendlier message with a hint about how
to access the data anyway. We should probably point to a help topic instead but
we do not have such a topic yet.
Example of the new output
abort: hidden revision '4'!
(use --hidden to access hidden revisions)
[1] Actually, filtering from "served" can also reach the user during certain
exchange operations.
