rhg: desambiguate status without decompressing filelog if possible
When status is unsure based on `stat()` and the dirstate if a file is clean
or modified, we need to compare it against the filelog.
This comparison can skip looking at contents if the lengths differ.
This changeset optimize this further to deduce what we can about the length
if the filelog without decompressing it or resolving deltas.

Test null revisions (node 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, aka rev -1)
in various circumstances.
Make an empty repo:
$ hg init a
$ cd a
$ hg files -r 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
[1]
$ hg files -r .
[1]
Add an empty commit (this makes the changelog refer to a null manifest node):
$ hg commit -m "init" --config ui.allowemptycommit=true
$ hg files -r .
[1]
Strip that empty commit (this makes the changelog file empty, as opposed to missing):
$ hg --config 'extensions.strip=' strip . > /dev/null
$ hg files -r .
