revlog: add option to mmap revlog index

Following on from Jun Wu's patch last October[1], we have found that using mmap
for the revlog index in repos with large revlogs gives a noticable performance
improvment (~110ms on each hg invocation), particularly for commands that don't
touch the index very much.

This changeset adds this as an option, activated by a new experimental config
option so that it can be enabled on a per-repo basis. The configuration option
specifies an index size threshold at which Mercurial will switch to using mmap
to access the index.

If the configuration option is not specified, the default remains to load the
full file, which seems to be the best option for smaller repos.

Some initial performance numbers for average of 5 invocations of `hg log -l 5`
for different cache states:

| Repo: | HG | FB |
|---|---|---|
| Index size: | 2.3MB | much bigger |
| read (warm): | 237ms | 432ms |
| mmap (warm): | 227ms | 321ms |
|   | (-3%) | (-26%) |
| read (cold): | 397ms | 696ms |
| mmap (cold): | 410ms | 888ms |
|   | (+3%) | (+28%) |

Test Plan:
`hg log --config experimental.mmapindex=true`

# By default, fall back to the pure modules so the in-place build can
