obsolete: introduce a new binary encoding for obsmarkers (version 1)

This new encoding explicitly stores the date and parents allowing a
significantly faster marker decoding. See inline documentation for details.

This format is not yet used to store format on disk. But it will be used in
bundle2 exchange if both side support it. Support for on-disk format is coming
in other changesets.

       using rollback or extensions that destroy/modify history (mq,

       clones. In particular, if two shared clones are both updated to
       the same changeset, and one of them destroys that changeset
       with rollback, the other clone will suddenly stop working: all
       operations will fail with "abort: working directory has unknown

       the broken clone to reset it to a changeset that still exists.
