revlog: move censor logic out of censor extension

The censor extension is doing very low-level things with revlogs.
It is fundamentally impossible for this logic to remain in the censor
extension while support multiple storage backends: we need each
storage backend to implement censor in its own storage-specific
way.

This commit effectively moves the revlog-specific censoring code to
be a method of revlogs themselves.

We've defined a new API on the file storage interface for censoring
an individual node. Even though the current censoring code doesn't
use it, the API requires a transaction instance because it logically
makes sense for storage backends to require an active transaction
(which implies a held write lock) in order to rewrite storage.

After this commit, the censor extension has been reduced to
boilerplate precondition checking before invoking the generic
storage API.

I tried to keep the code as similar as possible. But some minor
changes were made:

* We use self._io instead of instantiating a new revlogio instance.
* We compare self.version against REVLOGV0 instead of != REVLOGV1
  because presumably all future revlog versions will support censoring.
* We use self.opener instead of going through repo.svfs (we don't have
  a handle on the repo instance from a revlog).
* "revlog" dropped
* Replace "flog" with "self".

# This extension enables removal of file content at a given revision,
# rewriting the data/metadata of successive revisions to preserve revision log
# integrity.

"""erase file content at a given revision

The censor command instructs Mercurial to erase all content of a file at a given
revision *without updating the changeset hash.* This allows existing history to
remain valid while preventing future clones/pulls from receiving the erased
data.

Typical uses for censor are due to security or legal requirements, including::

 * Passwords, private keys, cryptographic material
 * Licensed data/code/libraries for which the license has expired
 * Personally Identifiable Information or other private data

Censored nodes can interrupt mercurial's typical operation whenever the excised
data needs to be materialized. Some commands, like ``hg cat``/``hg revert``,
simply fail when asked to produce censored data. Others, like ``hg verify`` and
``hg update``, must be capable of tolerating censored data to continue to
function in a meaningful way. Such commands only tolerate censored file
revisions if they are allowed by the "censor.policy=ignore" config option.
