rust-index: document safety invariants being upheld for every `unsafe` block
We've added a lot of `unsafe` code that shares Rust structs with Python.
While this is unfortunate, it is also unavoidable, so let's at least
systematically explain why each call to `unsafe` is sound.
If any of the unsafe code ends up being wrong (because everyone screws up
at some point), this change at least continues the unspoken rule of always
explaining the need for `unsafe`, so we at least get a chance to think.

rust-index: renamed `MixedIndex` as `Index`
It is simply not mixed any more, hence the name had become a
future source of confusion.

rust-index: stop instantiating a C Index
The only missing piece was the `cache` to be returned from
`revlog.parse_index_v1_mixed`, and it really seems that it is
essentially repetition of the input, if `inline` is `True`.
Not worth a Rust implementation (C implementation is probably there
for historical reasons).

rust-revlog: using the ad-hoc `NodeTree` in scmutil
Now that we have an independent `NodeTree` class able to work natively
on the pure Rust index, we use it in `mercurial.scmutil`, with automatic
invalidation after mutation of the index.
This code path is tested by `test-revisions.t` and `test-template-functions.t`

rust-revlog: add invalidation detection to `NodeTree` class
This will be useful for callers, such as `scmutil` who reuse a
`NodeTree` instance as a cache. They would otherwise get hard
errors if any mutation of the index occurred since instantiation.
This is something the C index does not provide.

rust-index: add support for `del index[r]`
Only the `del index[r:]` syntax was supported, but the comment said otherwise.
It's not actually used in core code, but the C index supports it.

rust-revlog: bare minimal NodeTree exposition
The independent `NodeTree` instances needs to be associated to an
index (for forward-checks of candidates) but do not need to
encompass all revisions from that index.
This is exactly how it is used in `scmutil.shortesthenodeidprefix`
and we restrict the implementation to the bare minimum needed there
and to write convincing tests.
It would of course be fairly trivial to add more.
