rhg: Use binary search in manifest lookup

… instead of linear scan, when looking for a single entry based on its path.
Manifest entries are sorted by path, but are variable-size so we can’t use
the standard library’s `[T]::binary_search`. We can still jump to a byte
index and then look around for entry boundaries.

## What is it?

This extension adds ability to save certain pushes to a remote blob store
as bundles and to serve commits from remote blob store.
The revisions are stored on disk or in everstore.
The metadata are stored in sql or on disk.
