revlog-split: make sure the self._indexfile attribut is reset (issue6811)

Before this change, after a transaction committing a file split, a revlog
object would have its `self._indexfile` attribute desynchronised from the
actual file storing the data. If that same object is reused (as we do for the
manifest during clone bundles), this lead to the data being writting in the
wrong location and the repository to go corrupt.

We not properly reset the attribut when applicable and everything is back in
working order.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:
