revlog: move file writing to a separate function

Moves the code that actually writes to a file to a separate function in
revlog.py. This allows extensions to intercept and use the data being written to
disk. For example, an extension might want to replicate these writes elsewhere.

When cloning the Mercurial repo on /dev/shm with --pull, I see about a 0.3% perf change.
It goes from 28.2 to 28.3 seconds.

__doc__ = """Same as `echo a >> b`, but ensures a changed mtime of b.
Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""

import sys, os

text = sys.argv[1]
fname = sys.argv[2]

f = open(fname, "ab")
try:
    before = os.fstat(f.fileno()).st_mtime
    f.write(text)
    f.write("\n")
finally:
    f.close()
inc = 1
now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
while now == before:
    t = now + inc
    inc += 1
    os.utime(fname, (t, t))
    now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
