sparse-revlog: add a test checking revlog deltas for a churning file

The test repository contains 5000 revisions and is therefore slow to build:
five minutes with CHG, over fifteen minutes without. It is too slow to build
during the test.  Bundling all content produce a sizeable result, 20BM, too
large to be committed. Instead, we commit a script to build the expected
bundle and the test checks if the bundle is available. Any run of the script
will produce the same repository content, using resulting in the same hashes.

Using smaller repositories was tried, however, it misses most of the cases we
are planning to improve. Having them in a 5000 repository is already nice, we
usually see these case in repositories in the order of magnitude of one
million revisions.

This test will be very useful to check various changes strategy for building
delta to store in a sparse-revlog.

In this series we will focus our attention on the following metrics:

The ones that will impact the final storage performance (size, space):
* size of the revlog data file (".hg/store/data/*.d")
* chain length info

The ones that describe the deltas patterns:
* number of snapshot revision (and their level)
* size taken by snapshot revision (and their level)

====================================
Test delta choice with sparse revlog
====================================

Sparse-revlog usually shows the most gain on Manifest. However, it is simpler
to general an appropriate file, so we test with a single file instead. The
goal is to observe intermediate snapshot being created.

We need a large enough file. Part of the content needs to be replaced
repeatedly while some of it changes rarely.
