revlog: store new index entries as binary For a pure-Python unbundle of the current NetBSD test repository, this results in a 10% peak RSS reduction. Using the C revlog index, it shows 25% peak RSS reduction. This is a direct result of avoiding at least 8 objects per new changeset or 200 Bytes+ on AMD64.

tests: use `testrepohg` in one more place in test-check-code.t This is already used elsewhere in the test to access the current hg repo, and avoids an error about the unknown `revlog-compression-zstd` when C extensions aren't built. The only other such error is in test-check-interfaces.py, but I don't see a way to avoid it other than to create an empty scratch repo. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D9364
