revlog: don't use slicing to return parents
This is the only place we use a slice on index entries, which
are currently tuples. In preparation for moving away from tuples,
let's stop using slices so we don't have to implement that support
on the new type.
We also tweak the logic slightly so the exception only catches the
IndexError on the index lookup, not on the index entry lookup. The
old code should never have been buggy. But it was semantically wrong.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
