revlog: make the index always return the same tuple

It is simpler to manage the diferrence in on disk format in the internal index
code itself and lets the rest of the code always handle the same object.

This will become even more important when the data we store will be entirely
different (for example the changelog does not need the "linkrev" field.

We start with item reading, we will deal with item writing in the next
changesets.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
