nodemap: use an intermediate "docket" file to carry small metadata This intermediate file will make mmapping, transaction and content validation easier. (Most of this usefulness will arrive gradually in later changeset). In particular it will become very useful to append new data are the end of raw file instead of rewriting on the file on each transaction. See in code comments for details.

nodemap: only use persistent nodemap for non-inlined revlog Revlog are inlined while they are small (to avoid having too many file to deal with). The persistent nodemap will only provides a significant boost for large enough revlog index. So it does not make sens to add an extra file to store nodemap for small revlog. We could consider inclining the nodemap data inside the revlog itself, but the benefit is unclear so let it be an adventure for another time.

nodemap: add a function to read the data from disk This changeset is small and mostly an excuse to introduce an API function reading the data from disk. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7836

nodemap: write nodemap data on disk Let us start writing data on disk (so that we can read it from there later). This series of changeset is going to focus first on having data on disk and updating it. Right now the data is written right next to the revlog data, in the store. We might move it to cache (with proper cache validation mechanism) later, but for now revlog have a storevfs instance and it is simpler to us it. The right location for this data is not the focus of this series. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D7835
