revlogv2: introduce a very basic docket file

This is the first stone toward using a docket file in revlogv2. Right now the
docket is very basic and only store the version number (which is -also- stored
into the index file…) and the other files have fixed name. This new
implementation break transactionally… but they are no test checking
transactionally for revlogv2… So I take this as an opportunity to start small.
They are no usage of revlogv2 outside of tests anyway.

The docket keeps the `.i` naming used by previous version index to preserve a
unique entry point. We could decide to use a different name and look it up
first, or to fully rework this in a future "store" version. However that does
not seems necessary right now.

We will re-introduces transactionality (and associated testing…) in a later
changesets.


A long list of TODOs have been added to the relevant comment.
